Gearbox and idle acting odd in the cold - Page 2

Only problem with that Martin is that by the time I've driven to Thor it's good and hot and running well.

I took it there not long back and left it all day to cool down but still Pete said it was perfectly fine.

I would suspect that if there is an issue with the speed sensors that the signal is probably not as it should be all the time.

It's just that when things are cold the signal is probably out of spec and then causes driveability issues.

Nice find Martin, lets hope I'm not just wasting my money.

Hope you and Emma are well by the way and had a good Christmas.

I received this today.

Shouldn't there be a cog on the end?

Martin F · 17th January 2011, 10:35 PM

It looks like something perhaps key's into that spindle inside.

Do you know if this is speed sensor 1 or 2 ?

Gambit · 17th January 2011, 11:13 PM

It's the one off Ebay you linked.

Well having had a quick Google it seems that I have all of it, guess the cog is reusable.?.

Is there a cog on the old one?

Not had it out to look, only got the new one yesterday.

Google came up with this.

Hmm, i've just checked the EPC and it looks like there should be a cog on the end

I suspect somebody has ordered it, used the cog (for some reason or another) and put the remainder on Ebay. In theory you should be able to take your old one out and transfer over the cog. Just make sure you inspect it to ensure it hasn't worn badly before transfering.
