Open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover from the engine head. On the right side of the head, locate the camshaft RPM sensor. Disconnect the sensor by detaching the connector clip using a sharp object like a house key, pushing down on the tab at the top of the connector. Using an Allen key, unscrew the sensor's fixing screw and extract the sensor. Take the new sensor and position it. Refit the Allen screw and reconnect the power supply.
