[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?

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
