crankshaft sensor location

[jones5n]

Hi...please help!

I have been having starting problems for AGES and have tried the glow plugs etc. I have had it scanned today and it came up with crankshaft position sensor A fault...

Can anyone please tell me where to find the sendor, the car is a 2007 vectra 1.9cdti 120 8v

Thanks

Would I be better getting at it from above or below? Thanks for your help. Is there any way to clean it or just get a new one?

[ftm100]

from below better to replace as theres nothing to clean 5.jpg

probably easier to change it from underneath. mine cost about £20

[jones5n]

Any tips on getting it out? I had a look earlier and it looks pretty crowded, what's holding it on... Is it a nut or a screw?

[caznand]

if i remember right it is held on by one torx screw.
