How to replace the camshaft and crankshaft sensors on an Opel Vivaro.

Model: Vauxhall Vivaro MK 1 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

Today we will explain how to replace the camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors on an Opel Vivaro vehicle. Let's open the front hood and using WD-40 spray and a wire brush, we clean the camshaft sensor, disconnect the connector, and with a 10mm socket wrench, we unscrew the nut. We insert the new sensor, screw the nut back on with a 10mm socket wrench, and reconnect the connector. We lift the vehicle and spray some multi-purpose cleaner on the crankshaft sensor nuts. We unscrew the sensor and remove it, and after cleaning the area, we install the new sensor and reconnect the connector.
