Where to Find the Crankshaft Position Sensor on the Opel/Vauxhall Movano

Model: Vauxhall Movano MK 2, Movano B - Years 2010-2021
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, learn how to locate the crankshaft position sensor on the Opel/Vauxhall Movano. You need to get underneath the van and search for it because it is really difficult to find and very complicated to access. Once you find the sensor, which is located near that metal plate with the engraved numbers shown in the video, it is quite challenging to get your hand or a pair of pliers in there to disconnect the electrical connector. In the comments, many people reported having great difficulty performing this operation, which became necessary due to a red warning light flashing on the dashboard. In some cases, starting the vehicle was completely prevented due to the failure of this sensor.
