[mightymanx]

hi i no its not a renault problem but sum 1 maybe to help i have a nissan micra 2004 1,0 i took it to the garage and it needed a new cam sensor i put a crank sensor in but does any 1 no the cheapist place to get a cam sensor thanx?

[Tony Walker]

does the chain sound noisy? very common for stretching then the cam sensor going out of sync with the crank sensor.... have they scoped the sensor to see if its working? or just read the code and said cam sensors broke?

[michael tierney]

the chain does'nt even have to be noisy to put everything out of sync on those engines...very expensive job looming i think

No point in buying new parts if they are not faulty, do a resistance test with a multimeter.

the engine and chain is very quiet yer i looked it up on google and relised it may be the chain it will start but thinks hard of picking up it went to nissan and they did a code check and it came up with cam sensor

wipe the rocker cover off

if the chain tensioner is out more than 10mm the chain is knackered

i used to do these privately £500 all in using nissan parts with the engine in situ, can do the job in under 3 hours if you have done a few

thanx for every 1s avice i picke it up cheap at 300£ so by the the ive done both sensors it will owe me 380£ so if it is the chain a friend off mines offered me the 400 for it so i didnt loose anything
