Re: Crank position sensor
Picked up 2 Nissan crank angle sensors this week, price was $145 for both. I also priced an oxygen sensor which was $216.
Planning to change them at 130k service unless they cause problems prior.

Re: Crank position sensor
Certainly did Chris. My T30 X-Trail showed no error codes and just became difficult to start then wouldn't start at all one day. Replaced the sensors and all was good again.
It's not an expensive fix so just go for it I'd say.

Re: Crank position sensor
Thanks Toddy.
Got the 2 sensors from Nissan Morley for $110 and fitted them. Took about an hour. Car runs, and no sign of the issues reoccurring on a brief 15 minute run - so hopefully that's job done. Could not have done it without the fantastic info on this board.
Here's my key tips for replacing the crank sensor (summarised from notes here and from elsewhere:
-See image of the location of the sensor on this blog http://home.exetel.com.au/frolektrics/replace-the-crank-position-and-and-cam-position-sensors-on-an-xtrail-t30.html (I did not see an equivalent photo on this forum)
-You do the work on the sensor leaning over the front of the car, i.e. with your stomach over the hood latch. If your short like me you'll need something to stand on. Placing an old towel or pillow over the latch makes this more comfortable!
-There is a bracket holding a wiring harness and a couple of hoses that's held on with a single 12mm bolt that in the way to get access to the sensor with your right hand, undo this bolt and the bracket can be moved out the way giving enough room for your right hand to unbolt the sensor and get a good hold of it to pull it out.
- Use a 6 inch (150mm) extension on your ratchet wrench to undo the bolt on the crank sensor - I don't think it could be done without this.
- Lay a towel down on the channel your putting your arm in to work on the sensor - there's lots to scratch your arm on on that pathway, and I think I cut down on the lost skin quite considerably doing this (still got a few scratches though).
- While you're working on the sensor with your right arm, hold a very small bright torch over the back of the motor (i.e. between the motor and firewall) with your left hand to see what your doing - the light on my samsung galaxy s3 phone was perfect for this.
- Leave the lead attached to the sensor until it's out, makes it easier to attach the new one as you can bring the old sensor and lead closer to the top of the motor to make the change.

Re:
Hi Chris,
Glad you got the problem sorted.
Don't forget to re-set the ECU if you haven't do so already. This is explained in Richard's post HERE
