Booked the car in for its (French) MOT this morning. Started the car with the petrol on filter trick no problem first thing.
So set out for the MOT, just out of the gate engine starts coughing and Check Engine light comes on.
You couldn't make this stuff up!!!
So back home and check the codes and get Crankshaft Position Sensor code. I already changed this sensor.
The only time I have seen this code before is with Crankshaft PS disconnected.
I did have the air con on full and I know this puts extra load on the engine.
Left it for a while, and went for a run and its fine again, apart from the odd random cough.
Tried it with and without a/c and made no difference.
What do you think?
