Not Mustang - Help?

Post by Nuts »

Guy's my daughter's partner has dropped her car off for me to have a look at a problem It's an 05 Vauxhall (can't bring myself to say that word) Vectra 3.2 V6 and it runs ok until it warms up and then just shuts down. Diags say its the Crank Angle Sensor. I have a replacement but can't find the bloody existing one on the engine. Anyone know where it's located? :help:

I so want t burn this pos!

Found it! Thanx XP for the hint. It is located beside the oil filter at the front of the engine. Nowhere where it says it's located. Everything I found says it's at the rear of the block and easily accessible! Yeah right. Found out the same engine is used in the 2002-2004 Caddy CTS and sourced the info there.

Anyway she's up and running and I can get this pos out of here.. :like:
