Hi All,
E46 N42 318i 2003. 104k
INPA is showing that the outlet Cam Shaft sensor is bust, Im fully aware on how to change these as I’ve done it a few years back when I swapped a broken one for another used original BMW one.
Question is, this already used genuine BMW part from WAY back has broke. However all of the sensors I now see for sale are slightly fatter.
The original sensor is fatter at the base then steps down and is narrower at the end, where as the new style are just wider all over…
I took a chance and figured that this would be some sort of update or improvement made to the sensor so I bought one to stick in.
Only problem is it doesn’t seem to want to go in easily :/ So, short of forcing it in which doesn’t seem a great idea, I was wondering if anyone knows for sure is the Cam Shaft sensors have actually been altered/enhanced on the N42 engine?
Thanks
Lee
Did you lubricate the o-ring?
