Freelander td4 cam sensor location

SteveVickers · Jul 25, 2017

Hi all

Can someone literally point me in the right direction trying to find my cam shaft sensor. It's an 05 freelander one. Any pics or directions would really help.

Thanks in advance

Steve

Going by threads on here, I think most people keep theirs in the fridge.

But I'm not sure where they fit them on the engine sorry!

The cam sensor is on the left of the cam cover. I can't get a picture to upload at the moment.

is that left Hand side of the engine bay are they easy to get to

yeah.. looks like left side as you face the motor
appears to be under the plastic engine cover ..
( not replaced that sensor myself ..
( just going by that pic
as part of the intake manifold can be seen .. and a fuel line
both under "2" .. more or less .. in that pic

doesn't 'look' hard to get to .. once that cover is off

note .. one engine cover bolt on the l.h. side .. if undone ..
will leak engine oil if the engine is running ..

Still can't get the picture to upload.

The cam sensor is directly left of No1 injector. It's got a 3 wire plug going to it.

Thanks really appreciate it. My email address is

@gmail.com if you wanna email me the pic

It's a good idea to remove you email address from a public forum

A picture is on its way via email.

The inlet manifold is removed in that picture. However you don't need to remove the inlet manifold to replace the sensor

Hi Steve.
Welcome to the TD4 club, by now I think you have a good idea where the cam shaft sensor is, but below a few photo's to make sure for you, first remove the little engine cover three 8mm bolts, lift off the engine cover, then looking at the engine from in front of the car the sensor is top left as in the last photo below, three wire going to it, unclip the wiring, then there is small torx bolt to remove before you can lift out the sensor, you can use 5mm socket it works just as well if you do nor have torx, job should take no longer than 5 minutes maybe less cheers Arctic
