Crank angle sensor

Does the q4 have one (im thinking it must) its just my car has been cutting out a little and ive traced it to a lead that runs to the bottom pulleys . It has a white connecter at the top of the engine by the inlet pulley and the lead has been rubbing on the water pump belt :shock: quite badly so for now ive cable tied it away until i find out what it is but the car wont start with it unplugged so im pretty sure it's the cause.
Ill try on the manual but i can never find what i want on it

Yes mate, I had exactly the same problem one morning, had been wearing on the belt from where I had tied it

It caused some big old cut outs while driving, then imediately fired back up but one morning it just wouldnt start, no spark or petrol - stuck a second hand one on and it was fixed

To be fair he fitted (i supplied) a clutch renewed the upper and lower sump gaskets checked the planet gears did the cambelt balance belt and all the others fitted a good second hand starter motor also skimmed the flywheel. Put new racing oil in the engine and box fitted a new slave cylinder checked the cam seals although im sure ive a small leak, and checked the valve clearances.
