Camshaft position sensor.....faulty (zd30 crd.. 2008 )
Engine light came on (Friday) indicating a fault. Booked in at Nissan dealer (after long weekend) for diagnosis. Light went out on Monday (or stopped showing) .Dealer did diag. check Tuesday with result "camshaft position sensor faulty, requires replacement".
Wagon is running well although feels a bit down on grunt but that may be imagination. I presume if the computer is missing info. re TDC or whatever, it must be running the engine on some sort of default setting otherwise it would presumably simply shut down. Either that or the problem has gone but that would infer the dealer was pulling my leg and I doubt that.
Quote for the sensor $150.00 with labour $120.00.
Any ideas out there about what's the problem and possible fixes? Why did the 'error' light go off with no fix? Does it automativally go off after a set time?
What's the meaning of life????
