    If the Sensor is faulty by replacing it the problem will be sorted, its the first way to find out what is wrong.
    My understanding is that the sensor reads what speed the timing chain is going at and adjusts the engine accordingly, if it doesnt get the results it expects it then brings the light up!

    So if it is the sensor that is faulty or dirty by replacing it the problem will hopefully be sorted!

    I would say there is a 10% chance this will sort it. If its timing chain, chances are its a stretched chain.
  • Thankyou all! I'll go ahead with the sensor repair then, and hope it's that! If not, then I think it's a new car!
