Thread: Should crank angle sensors be replaced as a service item?

how will lpg help if there is no spark.I always carry a spare,they dont take long to replace,

Don't know if the V8 is the same but a Td5 can come to a messy stop if the front prop shaft lets go. Mine was replaced as at 200k without having failed, as a service item as you say.

Ps. It and fuel pump are one of the only things that will stop a v8 d2 dead. In my case I have emergency lpg start though.

No. But a spare should be carried.

My CPS failed this week.

There's certainly no go without it.

My comment about LPG starting was in relation to fuel pump...

As for tail shafts, yes I agree that the unis are a known failure point. Generally though these days they are checked, or squarks are heard and it can be dealt with before letting go. I am talking about no start or no run issues. So I suppose we could add started motor...although mines a manual

I think though CPS should be changed. I am on borrowed time I suppose.

Seems like there are plenty of us who are clocking up a lot more kms than normal servicing covers. I am all for proactive preventative maintenance and changing the CPS before it fails and keeping the old one as an emergency spare sounds like a smart idea.

Good to understand what the average kms people have seen the CPS fail.

Will a failed CPS show up as a fault on a Nanocom?. If so, what would the code be?.

Not sure about the nanocom, but mine gave plenty of physical warning, it just needed someone to take notice
as for a service item?
again, mine failed at only just over 100k,,
but nearly ten years service.

change it and forget about it
