“Dan was early to come to the car (which suited us fine and he called to ask if it was okay or he’d have come at the later time) The car had been in at another garage who had misdiagnosed it, which Dan was really quick to diagnose. It needed different parts so it went to his garage where he fixed the repair and kept myself and my son (his car) updated on the progress and said he would show my son a few things on how to look after and maintain the engine, which is going the extra mile. Really friendly guy on the phone (I am in Scotland and the car is in Darlington) I trusted him even though no local knowledge of the area or reputable garages. Very happy with the service - thanks Dan!”

“Yes Joshua was very friendly possibly too friendly. Chatting about his sofa while I was trying to get back inside for my kids. Told me all about what he thought the issue was down to not being able to see much in the dark and not having a useful tool to use in the engine. I feel like it was not money well spent as what he told me I already knew but was trying to keep the car out the garage.”

Frequently asked questions about Kia crankshaft repair & replacements

Read our answers to questions about crankshaft repair costs, symptoms and more.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Crankshaft Position Sensor on my Kia?

  • When the 'Check Engine' light on your dashboard is on.
  • When the engine won't start or cuts out during operation.
  • When the engine misfires.
  • When the engine runs rough (a rough idle for example).
  • When the car's fuel consumption is higher than usual.

When should you replace Kia Crankshaft Position Sensor?

As the sensor is located inside the crankcase it is especially prone to deterioration. It can be affected by oil or the significant temperature fluctuations inside the engine. The sensor can, eventually, fail completely, meaning that the engine's ECU is not provided with the information to optimise the combustion process.

In turn this can lead to the fuel injection malfunctioning, preventing the appropriate amount of fuel to reach the engine to combust. It can lead the engine to misfire and run rough as well as cutting out or not starting at all. All leading to higher fuel consumption.

For optimal combustion cycles in the engine it is therefore important to service the crankshaft position sensor as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. Professional and timely maintenance is essential to prevent further damage of other parts of the engine. Should you experience problems with a crankshaft position sensor, then it is advisable to have it inspected and, if necessary, have the sensor replaced.

What happens during a Crankshaft Position Sensor replacement on my Kia?

  • The mechanic will read the ECU for possible fault codes related to the sensor.
  • The mechanic will inspect the sensor and ancillaries.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will replace the sensor.
  • The mechanic will check the system and will test drive the car to ensure proper operation of the engine.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will make adjustments.

Can local garages offer home collection and delivery for Kia crankshaft repair?
