Title: Cam sensor Change
Post by: jay.denning73 on June 17, 2018, 02:10:50 PM

Does anyone have the cam sensor part number? Bank 2 if it matters.

Does anyone know how hard it is to change? I think I may be able to manage from the wheelchair if it slides in and out.

TIA,

Jay

Not sure the part number... but you need to pull the valve cover off to replace it. It's kind of a PIA.

Is there a video somewhere? Looks like it should just unbolt slide out and slide in?

What am I missing?

TIA

It does not seem like the valve cover needs removed for this?

Cool thanks.

Bank 1 near the firewall?

Bank 2 closer to the radiator?
