Cure for intermittent starting fault?
 

Interrmittent starting fault on 2.3t 9-5 auto estate. AA suggested; replace relays for fuel pump and/or fuel injection, situated under the driver's side dash, (just above your shins!) No joy!:confused: AA again, replace 'ignition discharge module', easy, a good second hand one £50, (£300+ new) No joy. :confused: Read a bit about the 'crankshaft position sensor',(CPS) suspected that could be the problem,:rolleyes: bought one, (80 bloody quid for a magnet on a 15" piece of wire!:mad:) Removed old one, found big dollop of swarf on the end. Pretty awkward job, so didn't want to risk cleaning and replacing it, although I think that may well have done the job. Fitted new one ............... PERFECT ever since! :) Conclusion? Go straight for the CPS, clean it, refit it and it'll cost you nothing, maybe £25 if you can find a DIY friend to do it!;)
