Hall Sender

[Gambit]

How hard is it to change in a 16v??

had a look in the haynes and it says it jsut a case of removing the rotor arm & shaft, a dust cover & a screw to get at it

is it as simple as this??

also, what causes the hall sender to fail?

[Slim Shady]

it's connected to the dizzy

fairly str8 fwd to replace

they 'go' coz they are electronic - and semiconductors failing is not un common  

 - make sure it is the Halls sender that is shot and not any other part of the EIS.

follow the Haynes instructions and you shouldn't have any problems - multimeters are invaluable for this sort of fault finding.

I think it is quite easy to change, the shaft is retained by a pin i think.
