TDC sensor

[TomM]

Hi all!

I've recently been having problems with loss of power and sometimes lumpy starts in the mornings with my Meggie. I had my dephaser pulley replaced a couple of months back, and I kinda suspect my TDC needs cleaning or replacing. Problem is, I havent got a clue how to go about cleaining it.

Could anybody give me any advice please? Photos would be brilliant if possible please!?

My Meggie is an 03 reg 1.6 VVT by the way.

Cheers,

Tom.

Hey Tom,

Just posted the same symptoms earlier today lol

Does it kangaroo in 1st gear then rocket off the spot? or dip n revs just after the biting point?

I too would love to see how to check this cause my Megane has cost me too much time already

Yeah its very shaky in 1st gear, and lumpy in 2nd, but beyond that its fine. I've heard before that the TDC sensor can get dirty and a simple clean helps it a lot, but I haven't got a clue where to start with that!

Can anybody help?

Tom.

Hiya, im not sure how to replace or clean it, but like urself already had my dephaser pulley done last year, just thad my TDC sensor done, cost £133 parts and labour, so nowhere near the dephaser pulley cost....
