Technical crankshaft sensor

[smudg]

Hi guys after a bit of help, trying to replace the crankshaft sesnsor on my fiat ducato 2008, 2.2 puma engine, i have removed the 8mm bolt but still no joy as in the pic do i have to remove the bolt to the left of the sensor, if so any one know what size spanner it is, why on earth did they put it on the back of the engine, can just get my hand to it lol, tia for any help

I don't recall changing one on that engine but I have had crank sensors where all fixings have been removed, but the heat of the engine over time has expanded the plastic causing a tight fit, If that is the only cause then spraying oil around it and gentle twisting/revolving with molegrips or similar may help.
I have also had it on ABS sensors at the wheel for similar reason.

Hi. Just scrolling through these threads, looking for info. I have recently removed the gearbox on my 2.2 2007 puma engine, ducato, and managed to pull the wires out of the sensor, pictured above. I have bought a new plug as couldnt get the pins out of the old one, but the new plug comes pre wired. Can anyone tell me which wire goes where on the plug? I have a yellow wire and a green wire. Any help very much appreciated

Any chance you can do a bit of detective work using a magnifying glass to see which wire came from where, it may get you out of trouble as a last resort.

Sadly, nothing left inside the plug. I was wondering if it mattered, and was just an open /closed circuit

I know this is an old thread but if anyone reads this DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CRANK SENSOR RETAINING BRACKET . The bracket position is set at factory.
