Vauxhall ASTRAVAN -2001 - P0335Crankshaft PositionSensorACircuit Malfunction - daniel59
Hi all.I have an Astravan 2001 and it was running all good until couple weeks ago when the service light( the light with small car) came on for the first time and after that it'll come on again now and then for a while.Last few days is always on and engine performances are not same as before.I took it to a garage today and test it on computer and it came on the error ' P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction ' and the mechanic said I have to change the crankshaft sensor Wich I just did but the light it's still on ,the fault can't be deleted from computer,it just comes back again and engine runes noisy and doesn't pull as before.I read somwhere on forum some1 had a similar problem and after spending lots of time and money,the fault it was the way the sensor it was fitted in,aparently it has an exact precise position.I told the mechanic about this and he said it can only go in a certain position and its correct as he fitted it in.If anyone has had same problem or know anything about this,I would appreciate and consider any advice.Thank you and look forward to your opinions
