Re: WANTED crankshaft sensor for Renault Vel Satis
Thanks Marc, I've tried those, they say they have them but when it comes down to it they haven't, I been trawling internet for 3 weeks, nationwide breaking sites, google etc. but nothing, I've ordered one from Renault but its on back order and they cant even give me a date yet (up to 2 months was mentioned), I was hoping someone might be breaking one or better still one on a shelf somewhere (some chance)

Re: WANTED crankshaft sensor for Renault Vel Satis
I was going to say that neither of those links is likely to help, as they keep no stock, they just order from the dealers.
You could try sending a PM to our member R9UKE . He has not been around for a while, but I think that he may have had a parts-car with a similar engine.

Re: WANTED crankshaft sensor for Renault Vel Satis
Am I correct in thinking that the same engine was used in some Nissans (350z?) if so, it would open up a whole new line of enquiry, particularly if you can find the Nissan part number of the same part.
I think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INFINITI-Cran ... 2227883126 might be a used example with a Nissan part number.

Re: WANTED crankshaft sensor for Renault Vel Satis
Thank you xantia_V6 for your 2 posts, your right it is the Nissan 350z engine, trouble is in the Renault it has a Renault gearbox, and the Nissan has a Nissan box, the sensors are different, the Renault one has 45 decree angle fixing eye to the gearbox, sorry late getting back offline for a while,
