VW Mk6 GTI Crankshaft Position Sensor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- This is a 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI 6-speed. I was having issues with my car bucking after reaching normal temp at around 4000rpm in 1st and 2nd gear as well as 3000rpm in 3rd-6th gear. I purchased a new intake manifold and did a thorough valve cleaning thinking it would help but the problem persisted. (The gas mileage and rough idle during cold starts went away though. When I cleaned the valves I also removed and cleaned the Intake Air Temp sensor. Before doing all the cleaning, the car would start just fine and then fluctuate the RPM's anywhere from 850-1200 or so during cold starts. And I could hear my cold air intake sucking in huge amounts of air sporadically. After about 30 seconds it would rest back to normal.) Forums have listed the crankshaft position sensor (cps) as a possible source for bucking troubles similar to mine. You’ll need to remove the throttle body piping and some other piping shown in the video to get to the sensor. Purchasing a new sensor tomorrow morning and I’ll update with results as to whether it fixed my issues! (Sometimes called Crank Speed Sensor/Engine Speed Sensor).
!!UPDATE!! The new sensor seems to have eliminated my problem! Like I wrote earlier, I cleaned all sorts of other things during the process but I'm confident that replacing the sensor was my issue. After this video, I needed to use the car so I cleaned the sensor up and put it back in the car to see if a cleaning would suffice. This caused it to have a very short misfire/buck right at about 2000 RPM in all gears. So I do think that shifting/dirtying that sensor plays a large role on engine behavior (Obviously, as that's kind of what it's for). But if you were wondering about replacing it, DO IT! It's cheap!
Mychal 505 you are a legend my car litterly having this exact same issue I’m gonna fix it tomoz then back to full boost 👍
Thank you for this video. I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out where tf this sensor is.
Happy to help! Good luck!
Yea that's kind of the problem I'm having now. It stalls after driving a while and have to wait for it to cools down and bogs around 3k rpms as well already changed the air filter, new manifold, new coils and spark plugs, carbon cleaned, new MAF sensor and now the air temp sensor. Next is the fuel filter and probably this next.
Did you figure out the problem im having the same issue on my GLI
@@SamuelHernandez-oh9vl no sadly the beginning of June someone pulled out in front of me on my way home from work and totalled my car. Now I Have a MK5 R32 lol
@@agent47isn1 damn glad you're ok, nice upgrade tho lol
@@SamuelHernandez-oh9vl thanks me too the whole front end looked like a crunched pop can. And yea I thought so too lol
Hi there!
Nice video.
I own a Leon with the BZB engine almost identical in looks and facing the same symptoms.
I cannot rev more than 3.000 rpm and got a P0321 fault code on torque plus.
Going to change the crank position sensor also.
Appreciate you doing this vid man
Thanks man very helpful video
Thank you! Just had this problem! Hopefully it fixes the issue! I have the same symptoms
Juan Herrera Best of luck in the replacement! It may help if you have somebody help you with the throttle pipe removal
Update! This solved the issue! Thank you so much!!!! POST MORE CONTENT!!
Juan Herrera did your epc light pop on and lost throttle response ever?
jack girard what year is your car?

Mine bucks but only in 5th and 6th gear I’m shore it’s not the clutch and it’s this crank sensor 🙏
Man I'm really hoping my chain and tensioner isn't bad again it was replaced 20k ago and I'm getting a p0016 code 😔
Thanks for the vid deff helpful, sucks my sensor housing broke off when I pulled the sensor out… now the housing is sick in the block 🙃 few hours now trying to pry it out. But when it sits flush on the block only thing to do is find something I can fit in the housing and expand it to actually get any type of grip on it. Any ideas or tips?
Fortunately for me this didn't happen lol I think there's another comment in here somewhere where the same thing happened and the guy said he used a pick tool (harbor freight has them super cheap) and a small pair of needle nose. If that didn't work, I'd probably try to find a small file tool (also harbor freight) and file two slits on the edges that would hopefully make it possible to squeeze the housing out
@@mychal5057 I’m gonna use a decent sized screw and some quick steel to bond it to the housing then loosen it and pull it out hoping that works, already used the pick and the needle nose method
Mine's gonna have to go to the shop. 2 hrs. & still no luck even finding the ******
Hi, i have problems with my passat CC 2013, the car runs good when it's cold but stalls once it warms up... and there is no chance to start ir normally again, after start it works only 1-2 sec, then stalls... After 2-3 hrs when the engine is cold, it stars normally again... The diagnosis didnt show any faults... :( There is possibility that i have the same problem with crank?
My car does the same thing what did it end up being
Ive been having rough start ups every now and then... Using obdeleven gives me no codes but with vcds threw the g28 code. I'm doing this job tomorrow on my 2013 CC
Alberto Perez Sorry, just now saw this. How did it turn out?
@@mychal5057 throttle response is better, but rough startup is still there, guess Ill have to change the dualmass flywheel.. No more g28 code by the way
Alberto Perez Interesting, best of luck to you!
@@mychal5057 thanx..
@@albertoaprxrdx7134 hi, it helps to solve the problem?? Mine cc 2013, stalls when reaches 90 degrees tempreture.. then runs and stalls after 1-2 seconds... after 2-3 hours when the engine cold again, it goes normally again... thanks
how did you install the new sensor ? i'm having a hard time getting it to go all the way in
Sorry man! I had my UA-cam linked to my other account for a while and didn’t see the notification. This is a 2.0 Turbo TSI. The sensor itself just sits in the bore and is held in place by a bolt immediately above it. It will feel loose until tightened all the way
Did you have to do a ckp relearn?
Might be a stupid comment/question but here goes... when I pulled that sensor our it didn't have the black body intact it looked like it broke off like the casing broke but sensor is still there, is that why my new sensor doesn't fit?
Hey man sorry for the late response. I'd say it's definitely a possibility if it broke apart. I know it's not a great angle but you might be able to get one of those cheap 'telescopic mirror's from AutoZone and kinda angle it down there with a light to see if you can see the old plastic shell of the last one stuck in the hole.
And if you DO see it, I'd proceed very very carefully. Maybe try to get one of those little 'picks' you can also get at AutoZone. They have some with 90 degree bends at the end and you'd probably be able to yank the old plastic out
@@mychal5057
Got it out and all is well, yes I did have a pik and a small set of needle nose that got it out... old sensor separated from the housing lucky for me nothing broke apart.
Hi I have the mk6 GTI and get the code po341:00/00833:000 any ideas on how to fix please?
Where is the speed sensor for the Passat 2008 engine? fsi
How did you get to the torque screw holding it in? I got all piping out of the way, but there is a metal bracket blocking me from getting to the t-screw.
I had to use a flexible socket, it just barely fits and it is an absolute pain. You can see it from the top if you shine the light in just the right spot
@@mychal5057 to make sure I'm looking at the right torque screw, it is underneath the sensor, correct?
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. Got it off and switched out. Thanks again for the video 👍
Hi guys, am having probles with my 2010 gti manual transmition. The epc light comes out but when ever I scan it no codes come out. Does any one have any suggestions
How did you disconnect the electrical connector?
The connector I believe is a standard pin connector so just has a push/pull tab. If you Google "Mk6 GTI crankshaft sensor harness" it should be the first thing that pops up.
If you have a thin pick or even a tiny screwdriver, you should be able to angle it to pull the tab up while simultaneously pulling on the harness itself.
I honestly can't remember if it was a push tab or a pull tab, it's been a long while
is this the 1.8t ?
My same car through a p0016, rough idle, just wobbling at idle, I changed the camshaft sensor, should I change the crankshaft then see if it fixes it or what should I do?
Literally my car in my driveway broke down right now waiting on a ride to work
Well you won’t love the reply...
I’ve never had the p0016 personally but I’ve seen a few cases online. On the incredibly lucky side: It’s either the camshaft sensor or Crankshaft sensor having an error. If you’ve already replaced the camshaft sensor, I’d replace the crank sensor too if you can spare the $40. On the incredibly unlucky side: That code is linked to being one of the signs that the timing tensioner has crapped out on you. Are you in the same boat as me? You’re over the TSB mileage? I’m honestly waiting for mine to go out any day now. And I have to make a 1,200 mile drive next week and I’m on the stock tensioner and belts at 142,000
@@mychal5057 I took it to the shop, they said it was my balancing chain tensioner and the chain itself that went out, they said that I was lucky not to have blown the motor, I took it in when It was still fixable they said lol was $1600 at a local shop
Josh Hayeslip Understandable, are you within the lawsuit coverage mileage range? Mine is basically a time bomb because I was just a hair over the mileage
I had 90,000 miles on it when It broke, not sure if that’s in the mileage range?
Is this the same on a 2012 vw cc 2.0T?
yes
Bank 1 or 2 ?
I actually had both but very likely could have been related to some other issues at the time. I discovered a bad rear main seal a few weeks after making this video
My 14 GLI runs good...no rough idle etc. It just sometimes will have the EPC light and wont accelerate fast if given full throttle. I turn it off and back on and it goes away. It does it every now and then. I dont know if anyone has had a similar problem. EPC light is not on at the time, ill try and go to autozone and see if i still get an error code. Hope someone can help
You should check to see if your purge valve is bad. Had the same thing happen to me before, 13-14 Volkswagens are known for having bad ventilator valves.
@@stevvvveeeen thanks for the reply!!! Already set an appointment to take it to vw by the end of the week. I got a p003A code (turbo boost control). Ive had a new camshaft put in (had grinds) timing chain, new oil pump. So hope its an easy fix this time. Thats why i havent modded this car....so many issues so far. Ill never buy another VW again
WTF!
