Title: New crank sensor now doesnt start at all
Post by: Koose on 13 October 2012, 18:36

Hey all.

Mk3 gti 16v ABF. Massive lack of power and sometimes it would cut out  after  say a 30 mile journey.

After replacing a few bit and grabbing some info. I decided on  replacing the crank sensor. After a day of driveway mechanics, had it all replaced and done.Problem. The car cranks but dont start.

Any ideas ?

Did the car run after they replaced the sensor?
Firstly I would get it scanned for faults. It's not uncommon for cheap aftermarket sensors to fail within a week/months.
