eob 7 Posted December 27, 2008 I think my crank position sensor has had it, but despite plenty of messing around on eBay and GSF, I can't find prices for one Anyone any ideas where you can pick a new one up as I heard they weren't all that expensive new?

Tom Fenton 1,542 Posted December 27, 2008 What engine do you have and what year is your car? I ask, because probably 90% of 8v 205 GTI's don't have a crank sensor that does anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eob 7 Posted December 27, 2008 Sorry, it's a D6C Mi16. I've thrown a crank position sensor from a 106 on there and I think it might be why my engine won't start ECU works fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 27, 2008 any from an XU should do the trick plenty in the scrapyards I should imagine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eob 7 Posted December 27, 2008 Are you suggesting, for a second, that you'll find Peugeot's in scrapyards?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 27, 2008 oh not any more than another motor no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey S 29 1 Cars Posted December 27, 2008 according to intermotors website, not all xu's use the same crank sensor. http://partfinder.smpeurope.com/index.html...amp;value=18793 that link is for the mi16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 27, 2008 You can use GTi6, S16 ones with out a problem, Not sure on any other's as I;ve never seen them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted December 28, 2008 You can use GTi6, S16 ones with out a problem, Not sure on any other's as I;ve never seen them Agreed, I've interchanged both of those with Mi16s and 2.0 turbos too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eob 7 Posted December 28, 2008 You'd think they'd be all the same given that a CPS is hardly a complex piece of kit, but, having double checked my ECU (works fine in another 405) I think I've narrowed it down to being the CPS. I'd presume that a CPS from a 'standard' 1.8 Xantia/406 would do the trick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted December 28, 2008 yes, the differences in my experience have only been the length of the fly lead that is attached. I have swapped 8v Motronic with GTi6 magnetti and S16 Motronic, all have differing part numbers but the same plug on the end and all of them work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eob 7 Posted December 29, 2008 And yet... the TU one I used appears to be at fault... At least I hope so or it's around in circles again trying to find ze problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
