Parts specialist febi has highlighted a solution to an issue that many independent garages may encounter concerning a Magnet Crankshaft Wheel.  

The magnetic reluctor on many crankshafts is extremely sensitive to any cleaning or handling. As a result, it may become faulty which can lead to an incorrect crankshaft sensor speed signal. This can result in an engine management malfunction with a fault being logged, such as fault code P0336, for example if the reluctor has damaged magnetic segments.

febi recommends replacing the crankshaft magnetic reluctor wheel at the same time as the routine replacement of the timing belt and/ or the torsion vibration damper (TVD) pulley.  febi offers this part singularly or as part of a kit to include the TVD and bolt (36433 or 106476). This combination kit enables a professional repair, saving time and money for both workshop and customer.

He crankshaft magnetic reluctor wheel is febi part no. 36070 and fits various Citroën, Fiat, Ford, Landrover, Mitsubishi, and Peugeot models.

This part is available from motor factors nationwide. Full technical and application information on this and other febi parts can be found at:  partsfinder.bilsteingroup.com
