Hi all,
Getting well cheesed off chasing the cause on a hot starting glitch on my 2004 Accord I-CTDI.
Having replaced the CAM sensor which made no difference, its now time to look at replacing the CRANK sensor.
I've researched the part and believe its 37500-RBD-E01 / Bosch 0 281 002 659. I will be sourcing one asap.
It appears to be located on the lower crank casing immediately behind the A/C compressor.
What I really need to know is ...whilst its only a 10mm head screw and a multiplug to disconnect, how much of the car has got to be stripped away to access this? From the pics I've seen, it scarily looks like the A/C compressor has got to be removed. Can anyone with oily black fingernails who's ventured around these regions give me a head's up on what's involved ???
