Hello people
Having a bit of a problem with my 2004 Td5 110.
During a recent gearbox change, I made a very common mistake and damaged the wiring connected to the crankshaft position sensor on the bellhousing.
The wiring snapped off leaving not much to work with, but I managed to fit a new plug (and new sensor to be on the safe side) using some crimp connections.
However, the engine now starts very intermittently - sometimes it will fire right up after half a turn, and sometimes will sit cranking for 5-10 seconds before firing.
I have read that there is supposed to be a third 'shielding' wire in this part of the loom - and it looks like mine has snapped off even shorter than the rest of the wiring, leaving only a few strands sticking out of the heatshrink.
Where does this shielding wire need to go to? Is it possible to extend it? Or am I going to have to replace the whole loom...?
Any help or input appreciated!
