[SOLVED] W211 camshaft sensor

alexmoon · 15-03-2010, 06:50 PM

I've had a hot starting problem on my 270CDi for the last couple of weeks and posted on it. Most poters thought it could be the crankshaft sensor although a few said it was rare for them to go on a CDi diesel. My indie plugged car into day and only fault that came up was the camshaft sensor. Would that cause a hot starting problem?

Hi there, did you read the last two posts on you previous thread.

W211 hot start problem

it is common for sensors before they fail to become temprature sensitive

Momo,

I had a leaking injector, as I said before on that thread, but it got fixed today. However, the hot start problem was still there and only fault coming up was camshaft sensor.

Momomo, Would a dodgy camshaft sensor cause a starting problem? How much is one and is it a big job to change? Cheers, Alex

Conclusion to thread. New camshaft sensor fitted and problem sorted! Sensor only cost £25 and is easy to fit. Car also runs even more smoother. Thanks for all your help.
