W211 failing to start

[kamba]

I have had a friend scan the car and the following OBD code has come up

" P2034 L5 Crankshaft Position Sensor P0335 "

I'm guessing that due to sensor on crank shaft being faulty car is not starting

I have rang GSF and they quoted £30 for the sensor how easy is it to change and does anyone have a "DIY" on it.

rather depends what car it is - there are an awful lot of different W211 models.

its an E320

i have purchased the sensor and will get a garage to fix it

fingers crossed all be ok after this

IS THIS THE CORRECTAPPROACH FOR THIS FAULT

 

[Cole@MBS]

Yes, common fault, very common!!

 

[kamba]

where is the CPS located in the engine bay for E320 W211

 

[television]

Right over the top of the starter motor on the bell housing flange

 

[Cole@MBS]

At the rear on the right hand side as you look at the engine, on the bell housing its self, so about one o.clock if you were looking at it straight on, held in with a torx bolt and a square plug......

I have a W211 220cdi 07 reg what is the location of crank shaft sensor. Doesn't look like much room between firewall and bell housing

Thanks

Quite.....but the CPS is in the same place. The video is actually for a V8 S500.
Just get the engine cover off if its in the way and you'll see it.
Removal and replacement are the same as the video.
