Renault clio not starting - Crankshaft position sensor problem
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Sometimes a Renault Clio may not start because of problems with its crankshaft position sensor. It will turn over but won't fire up.
The crankshaft position sensor is used by the cars ECU to determine where the crankshaft is at any given time, then it can decide when and what spark plug to use, and what injector needs to spray, if the sensor is faulty, it has no way of knowing what to do and therefore will not start.
Its quite an easy component to get to, its found just below the air filter housing, and is held in with 2 10mm bolts and an electrical connector, a quick clean usually gets it fixed.
About 2 years ago the clio was having problems with this constantly and was having no start problems quite often, i was regularly cleaning the sensor as it was getting covered in oil, it turned out that the oil was leaking through the air filter housing as the crankcase breather was blocked, when cleaning the throttle body i also cleaned the crankcase breather.
In this video i replicated the problems i had by simply unplugging the sensor, although it was a bit dirty, it was still working fine, when there was an oil leak the sensor used to get covered in muck.
This is the throttle body cleaning video here:
• Renault Clio 1.2 16v D...
Although i don't show cleaning out the crankshaft breather pipe or PCV valve in the video, when you have the inlet manifold off its easy to clean it out.
Anyhow its a simple fix that should help if you need to get your car started.

I did this and the car now runs. You really saved my balls… 8 years later. I hope you’re rich by now. From the future
Superb to hear, i made this video before selling that clio and was so glad that i did it. Seems to have helped so many people, it was an absolute nuisance up until i had figured it out but its great to know it still helps. Thanks for the comment
This saved me, was stranded on the side of the road the car would not start, did like this video and now runs perfectly! Thank you🙏🏼
You are an absolute legend. I have used this method twice to fix my starting problems. Thanks to you my car starts first time every time!
This is the best video ever, today my clio wouldn’t start AGAIN like always. I almost gave up because I tried like 20 times and it finally started. That happened like three more times throughout the day and I had enough. Did the things you did and it took me like half an hour and it started perfectly and even faster. I feel like the car knows that i cleaned the sensor and is happy as am I. Thank you so much you absolute legend 🙏
Superb, great to hear it helped
It did what it said was the same problem and fix .. dude, you saved me big trouble you're my hero 🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻
Great to read that it helped, happy motoring and thanks for the comment.
Stumbled by accident on your videos and you make the best tutorials I've seen. Really like the fact you don't talk and it's 4min of action showing where the fault and solution is. You watch somebody like ChrisFix or ScottyKilmer and you want to slice your wrists after 15min of talking, plus they still don't show how they fixed something since it's before/after cam shots. Shame you only do this for PSA vehicles. Got to hand it to the french they really don't know what they are doing with electric.

This worked like a charm. I initially thought it's down to battery as it was almost dead by trying to start. Tried jump start but still no luck. Then I stumbled upon this and it was worked straight away after I cleaned the sensor. Thank you for this upload. Must have saved about 150 plus quid if I had asked a mechanic to look in to.
Glad to hear you got it sorted
Moved my Clio, 30 minutes later it refused to start, just kept turning over. Close to tears, I found this clip, and without much hope followed the steps you did, not on a 16V, but on the 1.1 facelift 2000 model. Unbelievably, it fired up first time. I just used WD40 and a toothbrush to clean it up (wife's), and it didn't look as bad as yours did. Maybe it's the connection that was at fault, this is just an induction device. However, I am extremely grateful to you. Other videos show the component but not where it is fitted on the engine, you tell the whole story. Cheers.
Hi
Glad to hear you got the car sorted. In some instances the crankshaft position sensor can fail internally and when the engine heats up it gives problems which can result in the car not starting when hot but being fine first thing in the morining. Nonetheless if you know where the sensor is located its now easy to remove.
Awsome😊
I have a Clio mkII (Y reg) so slightly older than this, but this fix has worked a treat. The only difference is that it's a hell of a lot more fiddly to get the sensor off on the model of Clio that I own! All in all it took around 45 minutes (I am very much a novice when it comes to mechanics), but as soon as I tested with the cleaned sensor back in place, it started on the button. Thanks!
I had the same problem. Drove from croydon Surrey to Wales and drove around Wales for a whole week and slightly more. Drove back to London no issues at all. Very Next day drop my daughter to school just 6 miles to and fro. Parked the car and next day car couldn't start. Stumbled on your video got my wd40 and spanner fixed the car myself having no engineering experience at all. Proud of myself. The car starts first time.
Well done on getting the car sorted, its great to hear that the video helped you out. Thanks.
This video saved me ! Had problems month and month. Two garage's tried to fix it ( one even is an official Renault dealer !)
In my case the sensor was not that dirty, but a few metal particles stick to it. Since it's a magnetic sensor, this could be a reason for malfunctioning. The whole 'repair' took less than 5 minutes. 8 weeks ago, now. Starts and runs like a charme. Freeze nor moist could prevent this. Very happy !!!
Great to hear you got it going again, thanks!
Absolute legend. My Proton Savvy which is essentially the same car had the same problem and this fixed it. Confirmed after it was driving again by having a mechanic check the fault code with an OBD2 checker and clearing the check engine light for me.
Happy days glad to hear it helped.
Thank you so much for posting this, it was so helpful. I just did this and it worked perfectly, so I didn't have to call a mechanic and pay them the money I had saved for my daughters birthday. I can't thank you enough
Thanks mate, I have had the same problem with my Megane Coupe 1.4 16V several times in the past, the last one just a few days ago. Having watched your video, and learned from the past, I now always carry a 10mm socket wrench and a couple of spare TDC sensors in the car, so I simply replaced it in-situ as soon as it acted up one morning. I've resigned to treating the damn things as consumables.
Haha to be honest after fixing this one the one time it never played up again but having a 10mm socket and some as spare makes sure there is no risk of breaking down.
You saved my life... literally. I tried everything and nothing gave me results... until that. Thank you sooo very much.
Para la gente de habla hispana, solo se trata de limpiar el sensor con wd40 en la parte que hace contacto con el cigueñal y luego volver a colocarlo, a muchos les a funcionado pero si aun asi no, pues toca comprar uno nuevo y colocarlo, gracias amigo por el consejo. Thaks friend for this tip.
Thanks for the clarification
Just had this very problem today, thought it was the fuel pump - did exactly as per you video - car fully working !!
Dude, thanks a lot, you really helped me with this video. I have been two times in the service, I paid 200 € TWO repairer and neither of them did not fix my car. Thanks to your video I fixed it myself. THANK YOU!
Ive been having trouble with my clio a lot recently with this issue on and off, did as the video described and it has worked so far with no problems. Thank you
My Clio wouldn't start this morning, but this fixed it straight away. Great video. Thanks.
Paul Harris Great to hear it sorted the problem, thanks for the comment
found your DIY video through the savvy forum, and you've given a solution for months of headache! I believe that his solution works like a charm for proton savvy users too.. thanks a lot!!
My son had the same symptoms on his 2003 Clio Dymonique 1.2 16v manual and after watching this and 10 minutes later car started first turn of the key.
Thanks very much hope it helps others to.
After searching the error with my diagnostic tool I used your video to fix my problem on my old Clio . Thank you very much. Andy from Belgium
+andewez
Great stuff! Glad to hear it got the problem sorted.
Many thanks. Your demonstration helped me solve "won´t starting" Clio II 2003/2004 1.0 8V. From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
+Carpe Diem Semper
Thanks for letting me know and glad to hear the car is going again.
Thumbs up to Rio de Janero, i have never been but it looks like a stunning place.
Dude, I 'm from Mexico , excellent video , surely you hate the mechanical but I appreciate Clios owners because they trick us more
The mechanicals of the clio are not too bad, yes there is quite a few bits of plastic in the way to do some jobs but its an easy enough car to work on, and parts are quite cheap for it, it didnt really give any expensive problems.
Hi! You are a GENIUS! It's very cold over here right now so I didn't wan't to dismount it, just banged it very lightly with a very small 0,25 kg hammer (really just very-very slightly), I thought the dirt will just fall off. AND IT DID. Now it starts immediately. This weekend I'll clean my garage and I'll clean it following your guide :) Anyway my car starts now immediately!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
Just tried this on our cheap winter run around and this worked a treat and now runs a dream.
Superb, glad to hear it got your car sorted.
Touch wood it's worked, the whole thing was covered in oil and grime, if it's any help a mirror makes the job a bit easier and it a 10mm socket
Thanks mate! We've been struggling with this Clio for months and now it's finally fixed.
Glad to hear you got it sorted thanks for the comment
Absolute Legend!!! Had my clio 182 booked in at the garage today thought id give this a go before they made up a load of bullshit and charged me the earth and worked a treat!! I can now enjoy the money I saved for my daughters birthday and spoil her rotten instead. Thank you so much mate!
TheClubnet Great to hear it sorted the problem, them 182's are great fun
I did it yesterday, and it worked!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. (clio 2003)
Had exactly the same problem with my clio 2 1.6 16v. Cleaned that sensor and now the engine runs even better! Thanks a lot for this simple DIY video!
Thanks, good to hear you got it sorted.
Having the same problem as a matter of fact now. It the exact symptoms. Electrics works, key work, the dashboard also looks like yours, but it wont ignite the motor... Is it possible to get it started with the help of a other car battery by connecting starter cables ? If not i must get a tower haha :/
Hi there I had the same problem with my Clio intermittent starting; found your video; cleaned the crank sensor now it starts first time every time. Thanks very much saved a potential fortune in garage bills. Good job! Kind Regards Paul.
And here we are in 2024 (July) and yup, you helped someone else.
Thank you!
It was by chance that i took the time to make this video before selling the clio, the sensor had been fixed but it seems it was worth doing it back then.
wow...so simple. I had the same issue 3 years ago with my renault clio 1.2 16V. I took my car over to the car electrician. He spotted this same problem with the crank sensor immediately but, of course he caught me unaware and he replaced this part that cost me around 50 euros! I am sure that if he wanted, he would do exactly the same procedure, i.e. to clean it thouroughly with the WD 40 and fix it on the spot but, of course he would get much less than 50 euros, out of which the 30 euros he said, charged me for his working time!! go figure, and now that my renault has the same problem, i will try to fix it my self...thanks a lot.
+ΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ ΓΟΥΖΟΥΑΣΗΣ In some cases of course the sensor may be damaged and requires fixing €50 is about £35, i have bought some new prices vary but £20 does reasonable quality ones, the £15 labour rate is ok i suppose, i dont work as a mechnaic myself so cant comment on pricing, but it doesnt seem too bad.
Having said that if you can do the same job yourself DIY its better.
I have the same problem , just now cleaned the sensor and the car started immediately. You save me a few bucks. Thanks mate
Great to hear it solved your problem and helped.
Genius ordered a new on but will try that. When the battery has 14.5v off an RAC van it started. Getting closer to solving this. Taking mine out tomorrow and checking it. Thanks for the video mate. Kangoo 1.6 16v 2004
Thanks for the comment
Good video-warning light has gone now was flickering on intermittently cleans sensor no more light-no fault showing on obi reader -well done mate👍
Had the same problem with my mk2 clio and this actually helped me! Thank you
brill video,had exactly the same problem and fixed it in less than an hour,many thanks
Many thanks for this video - turned out this was exactly the fault with my daughters Clio and your instructions meant I could fix it without the need for a mechanic.
Best regards
John
+John Williams Great stuff, good to hear it got the car sorted
this was exactly the problem a friend had and this video helped me sort it out, i would like to add to also clean the connectors to the sensor and also spark plug distributor unit if you`re at it. thank you
Thanks for the comment and those useful tips
I also fixed my Laguna after two and a half years out of trafic. Thanks for your instructions!
Great to hear its up and rnning again. Happy motoring
My Clio had the same problem once, i just bought a new sensor, but I'll surely remember that! Thanks!
+Albanus35
Sometimes the sensors go bad, but they do tend to respond well to a clean
Thank you! Very clear video, I followed exactly what you did and car is up and running again.
Thank you so much from sweden! I was so close to scrapping the car, you're the best
Thanks for the comment glad to hear the car is still running.
Fantastic video, just watch this and went to my car that wouldn't turn over and blow me it worked 1st time. this has saved me a small fortune as a garage would have asked for my arms to fix it. this seems like an easy job but its a bit fiddly. But thanks to you my man its all sorted. Many Many thanks.
Hi, thanks for the comment glad to hear the video helped.
All I can say is thanks for the video this problem has been annoying me for weeks now did this and it worked perfectly fine make sure u check to see if your end is still magnetic otherwise ull need to order a new one normally around 20 pounds
My good friend you saved me alot of troubles! I did exactly what you showed us here in a megane coupe 1.4 and my car is running again thanks to you!!!!! Many thanks my friend, keep up your great work here!
Thank you for the video. I knew right away where to find the transmitter.
Its not the sensor thats faulty or in need of cleaning its a bad connection on the 2 pin connector. seperate the plug and bend out the 2 pins very slightly. If you are stuck at the roadside, wiggling the wires without removing sensor normally will start the car. The only difference with the modified (blue sensor) is it has gold coated terminals and needs the loom modifying slightly, easy job but dont waste your time or money. Hope this helps someone.
+gary stanway Thanks very muc for taking the time to explain the differences between the standard and modified (blue sensor). I took my Kangoo to a Renault dealer last week and they told me the computer reported that the crank sensor is faulty so I ordered a new one and they are fitting it this Thursday. Plus fixing the wiring issue with the Air Bag and SERV light coming on sometimes. They told me this was a common issue apparently. So all up this is going to cost me just over $1000.00 to fix everything up. I think the crank sensor was around $300.00? The rest is in labour plus I brought two new rubber brake and clutch pedals for $12.00 each. Anyway I guess I should have researched this more but for some reason I was convinced it was the fuel pump. I did get a mobile mechanic to look at my car but he couldn't tell me a thng even with the computer he used to plug into mine. So this is why I took it to a Renault dealer to sort out for me. So I guess you pay for the service and in some respects it probably;y works out cheaper than buying new parts and hoping the issue is fixed.
Anyway thanks for your comment and thanks to the original poster of the video.
Thanks! Know someone with a not starting clio, took the sensor out which was dirty cleaned and sanded a little bit works like a charm!
Great to hear it worked for them! Thanks for the comment.
best illustration so far, thanks a lot
Thanks for the video, very helpful to asses the problem. One thing though: if you have a car with automatic transmission the part and location are different and much harder to reach.
It would be quite different, i think the automatic was the 1.6 only? It is quite a different engine to the 1.2 D4F in terms of its layout
Hi did you manage to access your sensor as I have clio 1.6 automatic and its very difficult to access . Got intermittent starting issues
i tried the exact same thing because i was having same problem and it has been fixed thank you very much the garage wanted £60 but it only cost me £2.50 for wd40 once again thank you very much
Great to hear you got it sorted thanks for the comment
Although my Clio Mk3 appeared to be running OK, the dashboard engine warning light came on last week. The OBD2 reader reported random cylinder misfire and camshaft position actuator circuit faults. After some research, I decided to look at the crankshaft sensor first. Cleaning it with steel wool appears to have fixed the problem. Woohoo! I actually spent a lot of time looking for the location of the sensor on the car. It was only until I saw a picture of a Clio crank angle sensor on the eurocarparts website then I was sure where it was located. Access is from underneath the car. It has a single 10mm mounting bolt.
En este momento esta desmontado. No habia pensado en esta opcion ... lo limpiare y volvere a montar... gracias ... sino funciona no tengo mas remedio que comprar uno nuevo. Saludos desde Chile
Yes sometimes cleaning may not work and a replacement is the best option.
Laguna ii owner here, intermittent starting problem (crank no start) like in the video. Also jerky sometimes when feathering the throttle.
I have the newer version of this Crank sensor (the blue connector). Cleaned it anyway, will have to see if it helps.
Hopefully it sorts your issue, i am not too familiar with the engines the Laguna 2 got but could be generally similar to the clio.
Thank you very much, really exhaustive, you gave me the confidence to try this on my dad's 1.6 Laguna (high idling and difficult start with warm engine). Worked like a charm!!!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Thank you for posting this video, it has saved me a trip to the garage , worked a treat after i cleaned the flywheel sensor .
Thank you again .

Thank you so much for posting ! God bless you !
Just did this and it worked like a charm!
Thank you so much!
Great to hear you got it sorted, happy motoring
Thanks mate. Stay safe during the madness. 🏆
Thanks for this, it definitely works, BUT its only a short term fix. I did it on my car, but as soon as the WD40 dried out (a couple of months), i had the same problem again. Its best to replace it with a new one. They're not expensive...unless you buy from a Renault main stealer!
Top Tip: I've got a TU5JP4 engine, good call on the crankshaft sensor, I even replaced it not just cleaned it but carried on not starting. Check your COM2000 unit people, especially the brown wire, I end up taking the whole thing out and re-flowing the solder with a heat gun (neat trick from fixing Nvidia GPU's), the connection near the brown plug needed soldering and vehicle started. Another one is water drip onto BSI fuse box, take it out of the plastic bullshit and clean the connections + re-flow the solder. Just because you don't get weird things happening with signals/lights/christmas dash doesn't mean it's not Com2000
I can understand why the failure rate is high with these sensors on this type of engine.
Oil easily seeps past the bore hole onto the sensor tip as there is no O ring to form a seal.
That combined with heat solidifies the oil on the sensor tip so much that it stops transmitting data until cleaned or replaced.
That is very much the problem nicely surmised.
Thanks mate, just had the same problem. Your video did help me out. Well done.
Hey man this worked for my clio 182. have been having starting issues for a while now and I cleaned the sensor with wet wipes and put it back and it started first time 👍 it's been slowly getting harder and harder to start when yesterday it just didn't want to.. but yea thanks man!
Great stuff, thanks for that!
best video of all the videos I have watched so far
Thanks for the comment
Tengo un megane II 1.4 y hace exáctamente lo mismo. En todos los foros me remiten a cambiar un inencontrable sensor de arbol de levas, cuando parece que lo que hay que cambiar es este sensor de posición del cigueñals. Muchas gracias!!!
Well it seems this video helps people all around the world!!! Thanks a lot!!! It fixed my problem :)
Thanks alot man!!! I had this problem in my clio and i would have never figure that out by my self but this video solved the problem and now it works fine again
+antsaelias1 Great stuff glad to hear you got the problem sorted
Did the trick for me! Easy fix and worked like a charm.
Happy days, great to hear it worked.
nice videos, i doing same in other cars, but have same engine. Proton Savvy D4F 1.2l
your videos is so nice because it is no need to much talk that bores me... thanks..
Hi, Thanks for the comment. I've had a few mention the savvy has the same engine.
Yes i see plenty of videos out there with about 2 minutes of talking before the repair starts, i personally find if i want to fix something id rather just get to learning how to fix the problem in hand rather than hearing about how the like button, subscribe and facebook all work.
Your video helped me start my car. Many thx.
Thank you very much for this.... My good old Clio is working again🙏🙏🙏
(WORKS ALSO ON TWINGO 2000)
Man I can't thank you enough for helping me so easily, you clearly saved my day and probably a lot of my money too!
I still can't believe just a bit of oil could solve the problem because it didn't look dirty at all, but the way the car started again, it is obvious that it was a problem with the pmh (pmh means "point mort haut" which might be the french translation for crankshaft position sensor)
thx again!
(ps/tip: when plugging the pmh back be careful to remember in which position it was, cause I'm not sure but there might be a problem of polarity)
It will only lock in one way on my Clio so that's not an immediate problem. But yes do take note since it can affect the reading.
They are a hall effect magnetic sensor iirc so they should work either way round, but yes the connector is shaped so they can only go in one way.
+peugeotCitroen2CV Do you know why the improved version with a new plug is specially mapped? if you know what I mean. that ought to make no difference right?
One should clean it in advance of any issues developing? Thanks for the great information.
Cleaning it does no harm, its good preventative maintenance
Excellent video congrats!
a question if I may: My clio 1.6 v16 makes a rolling noise of electric motion that can be felt (excuse my lack of technical vocabulary ;) ) in the engine. I can hear the petrol pump vibrate in the back seat, but when I turn the key there's no spark, just a buzzing noise. After 5 or 6 tries it starts just fine. Funny thing is it happens every 3 or 4 months. Rest of the time it just starts OK. Is it the crankshaft sensor or the starter.
Also, a friend told me to put it in first gear and give the car a push, then go back to Neutral and try starting again. Usually that method sorts it out and the car starts all right.
Please help and congrats again on your videos. Cheers!
The buzzing noise is most likely the starter trying to start the car up. If it was the crankshaft position sensors fault the car would crank over and over but not fire up, if it was the immobiliser then the car would not make any attempt to start up i.e. no clicky noises.
I had all 3 problems at various times in my clio, when it was the starter i found a few taps on the solenoid with a hammer was a temporary fix, as was parking it on a hill and roll starting it (i.e. letting it roll down the hill, obviously with someone in the drivers seat, put it into gear and dump the clutch when its got a bit of momentum going and the engine should fire up), but a refurbished or replacement starter would be the best fix for the problem, much safer than roll starting it.
peugeotCitroen2CV
Super! The mech said he'd fix the soleniod part or just replace the starter, depending on how much £ I had. We live in Valparaiso (probably you've read about a city in the hills?) so rolling cars is sort of our specialty here ;) although our Clio has never come to that much.
By the way, I couldn't find the CKP sensor in the k4m engine. It seems different from the engine you show in your vid. Thanks for the advise!
Rowan Treahs I had the starter refurbished in my clio for £25 at an auto electricians, he does not remove the starter, in that case i had to remove it and bring it to him, but £25 was good value for it. Parts here in northern ireland are quite cheap for renaults.
The engine in this clio was a 1.2 D4F engine, the K4M engine although its not rare i havent seen or driven one, i think if you search for "K4M TDC sensor" you will find the part similar to the crankshaft position sensor
Thanks! peugeoutCitroen2CV
Funny how I paid the equivalent to £25 in local currency for the removal and refurbish job to the starter.
Car starts like new. Thanks again.
My other question was how to find the sensor "in the engine itself". I looked around with a torch, but i found nothing like the sort even diving under the car.
All the same, thanks for replying me comments.
R
Rowan Treahs The crankshaft position sensor? Is your engine the same as the one in this video i.e. a 1.2 16v D4F? The sensor is found under the air filter housing where the engine and gearbox meet. If the engine is a different renault engine I'm not sure exactly where the sensor is but typical locations are around the bell housing where the engine and gearbox meet, or round the timing belt area.
Indeed, we had the same problem with a Twingo, plain simple but it worked well, Thanks,
+Crasje1 Glad it helped, thanks for the comment
Had this problem 4 years ago, and followed your video, it was fine till Saturday. Followed this video again, started, then Sunday it wouldn't. So i brought a new sensor and still it wont start.... any ideas on what i should do next? i also have the 1.2 16v Clio
Hi there,
Can you check the condition of the connector going to the sensor, is there any corrosion on the inside of it, also what condition are the wires.
You might need to get a wiring diagram for the clio (sorry i dont have one owners clubs might help, or buy an e manual for it) then use a multimeter to check the continuity between the connector and its relevant pin on the ECU to ensure the connection is good.
Thanks for your information and the video, hi from Mexico City.
Thanks for the comment, and hi from ireland
Thanks a lot for this video! I am about to try this method for my Clio 1.2 gasoline. However, unlike you in my case the starter motor does not make any sound at all, does not even try to start up the engine. This problem only happens sometimes because the car mostly starts correctly. Do you think I should still try this method or it might be something else? Thank you!
It is more likely that your starter is failing, remove it and have an auto electrician refurbish it. I had to do it on this clio at a time, its fairly easy.
This is for the 8v 1.2 engine but quite similar sorry about the soundtrack.
ruclips.net/video/AVJpojGSKck/видео.html
It cost me £25 to have the starter refurbished.
I'm thankful for this video, I'm actually going to try it. Mine is a Renault Clio 1.4 2000 model. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the immobiliser. Is the sensor in the same place or is it different? Regarding the models
Hi there,
I think the 1.4 is arranged slightly different to the 1.2. Have you had any luck in resolving this issue since leaving the comment?
fixed my problem, takes 5 minutes to do. Thanks ;)

Superb! Thanks for the update.

Hi thanks for the link, just passed it onto youtube.

Muchas gracias , me ha solucionado una avería que en tres años me han ido cobrando los mecánicos de renault, cambiándome piezas, y seguro que solo limpian esta piezas , porque después de llevarles el coche , me funcionaba , una media de entre 5 y 8 meses , muchas gracias
Thanks for the comment
Nadamas se puede limpiar..!!en vez de cambiar
The sensor's middle part is actually a permanent steel magnet. In about 7-8 years, a steel magnet is losing about half of its magnetic properties. Cleaning it will not solve the problem if the sensor is old enough. Of course you may try to re-magnetize the bastard but be aware of the N-S polarity or it won't work at all :). Best solution: Replace the part, it's quite cheap imho
Cheers from Romania.
Sometimes cleaning it may just remove a fragment of metal or rust that could be interfering with the signal. Its even cheaper to give the sensor a quick clean just in case it solves the problem, on this clio it never gave any issues after this fix, although if the sensor starts to be temperamental on more than one occasion then it is best just to replace it to ensure the car can be depended on.
You are a legend ...it worked 🕺🏾
Thank you very much, it worked like a charm.
Greetings and thank you! It works🎉 from Tahiti a sunday morning
Thanks, solved my problem on Mégane mk1 also!
Thanks a lot !
You solved my problem, it worked !
I have clio 2 1.4 16v, and it wont start sometimes. But if i use start spray it always starts. Crankshaft sensor was recently replaced and i am still having this problem.. Any idea what could be wrong?
If it starts with easy start spray you may have an issue with the fuel delivery, injectors, possibly oiled up throttle body getting the wrong readings in which case a good clean with carb cleaner will work. Do you hear the fuel pump whirr as the ignition is turned on?
@@peugeotCitroen2CV i mean it depends. Sometimes it struggles a bit even with start spray but it always starts with start spray. And yes i hear my fuel pump. It is strange because it drives normally.. I was thinking i could have problem with wires or connector on crankshaft sensor 🤔
@@angrygamer8925 Might be worth posting a video of the issue on the clio sport owners club facebook page and see what suggestions you get.
