Don't you bother reading what people reply? You don't seem to! Yet again your in headless chicken mode.

Read & digest what people have said!

I quote from a previous post which you 'replied' to but just went on about your mileage and did not answer any of the questions:

Quote:

The sensor are known to be very reliable and most faults related to this are usually found to be damaged wiring on the sensor.

How about you answer KneePads question, before you go around in circles, again! Angry

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Dec 2010 at 23:13 the problem is, you've not even confirmed the fault yet and your already asking people to replace it for you!? You want to find the fault first, just because the car throws a code, that does no instantly mean its correct. Often far from it!

Its more likely the wiring, hence KneePad's original question

Usual place is its rubbed aux belt, or got trapped somewhere during work being down.

You don't need to? Undecided

The cable tray across the front of the cambelt cover, check that first, follow it down to the alternator. You don't need to jack the car up...
