4758nigel Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hi all the latest issues with my Impreza (after having replaced MAF sensor,spark plugs, ICV,boost pipe and the knock sensor) it started throwing up the crankshaft position sensor which upon further inspection allowed me to discover the my air con belt had shredded cos the nut on the tensioner had come off an had allowed the pulley to rub on the cam belt cover aswell as the belt itself I am planning on replacing the cam belt (full kit including the water pump etc) but this morning it was an absolute !Removed! to start I have another csp sensor so figured I'd replace this and hopefully help it start easier now the problem I've got is that the csp sensor has just snapped off inside the engine so I have the plastic part but not the metal part I have absolutely no idea how to get it out and was hoping someone on here could give me some advice as to how to get it out as I need to be able to use the car for school runs etc(short journeys)Any help would be greatly appreciatedTiaNigel
fozzey252 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Try cleaning broken end with carb cleaner then use JB weld apoxy £5-7 off Amazon has 3600nm tensile strength allows you to drill and screw using extractor Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2
4758nigel Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 just a quick update I've managed to get the middle of the sensor out but unfortunately it's left the metal sleeve behind so I now have to try and get that out and I have no idea how to do it without damaging the slot where the sensor goes
stants Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Do you have any circlip pliers ? The ones that open outwards when you squeeze the handles together ? If so you may be able to open them up enough ro engage the thread and turn it out by hand
4758nigel Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 i've managed to get the sensor out but there's a slight crack in the mounting hole in the oil pump would the JB Weld Epoxy be strong/safe enough to repair that until i can get a new oil pump?
fozzey252 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I would not risk it as I do not know its construction or where the crack is. I have repaired a holed crankcase in a Honda generator about 8 years ago and it's still running. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
fozzey252 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It was Also used. To repair a holed piston in a CAT diesel but it's not without risk Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1
