Sensors

The G13BB only has the Camshaft sensor...(CMP)



Whilst the M13AA has both Camshaft (CMP) and Crankshaft (CKP) sensors

Thanks martin, thought i'd got away with a cheap MOT this year!!

Did a new cam sensor fix it?

I haven't got one yet, I bought a vitara radiator to fit so tohught i'd do that first as Ihave read the cam sensors get damaged by running hot. I figured no point knackering a new sensor while I have a new radiator to fit. With a bit of help the new radiator was fitted yesterday, I took the jimny for some gentle runs and no fault, went laning with some mates this evening and still no faults, so its a wait and see what happens for now :S

Colin, how sis the Vitara Rad fit ?
any extra benefits in size ?
Any issues in mounting ?

Its a bit bigger, i had to remove the passenger side mount, cut it, weld them in 2 parts onto the slam panel at the top and also somewhere underneath (i didn't see this bit. I also had to remove the rubber bushes.

it cools well so far, but my old rad was in poor condition. i had read that it wasjust a case of bend the mounts out and a vit one will drop in, but mine is an auto which has an oil cooler at the bottom of the rad so it may be different.

it only took 40 mins or so and seems to be doing ok, but not a fair comparison to an old knackered rad. hopefully the extra size will help though
