Hi all,
Bought a nice cheap Scenic at the weekend for a general runaround. Took it for a good test drive, all worked 100% ok. Good condition that was kept up to condition. Did the deal and drove home (~35 miles) along the motorway.
All was going perfectly fine on the journey - all temps good, no warning lights, smooth running. Suddenly I had complete power loss from the engine - no EML, no warnings, just dead. Got it over to the hard shoulder while coasting. As I came to a stop, it was as if the the engine was turned off (interior lights came on, etc). Tried restarting it (just ran), but when trying to pull off it stalled. Then wouldn't restart at all - turned over but wouldn't catch. :(
So called recovery.
Half hour later after googling a bit and while waiting, I gave it a quick go to see if it started. It started perfectly fine. I pulled it over a bit just to keep it away from the edge of the hard shoulder, which it did fine. Was tempted to give it a drive back, but as only half way back, I didn't want to cancel recovery and have to recall it. Anyhow the recovery truck then arrived a short while later. It again started fine and got on the truck no problem.
Recovered home. Restarted fine, I took it around for a 10min journey, all good.
Ran a quick code scan, only code that came up was a "P0313 - Misfire Detected With Low Fuel". I didn't scan it before buying (forgot my reader) so could have been there for a while. No other codes apart from that with my generic OBD cable.
I'm guessing that this sounds like a typical case of TDC/Crank Sensor failure??
Next question, the sensor looks very different on the 2.0 vs the 1.6 (that I know commonly fails). However GSF car parts and the Facet parts catalogue can't decide which one should be the correct one. Both look like they may fit, but the connectors are different.

(says camshaft sensor, but the 2.0 doesn't have one and it comes under the category of crankshaft sensor on their website)
Note how they look similar in their design. Both descriptions say they are compatible! Arggg. :crazy:
Cheers,
Si.
