Hi All,

I believe my CPS has failed in my limited 04 (crank but no start when i turn the key!). I did manage to get it started using a clutch start so if you are ever stuck this will work.

I need help in purchasing the right CPS module, I need to know if I am ordering the latest bosch OEM part number as I understand there have been a few releases of this part? so I want to ensure I am getting the latest revision and best brand, bosch right?

I found it available at needswings, but it is the hella OEM brand does anyone know if this is good, or should i stick with bosch?
Crank Position Sensor

and I found this on eBay, is this the right quality part? part number for this is 0261210170 < is that latest revision?

Is this guy selling original genuine bosch?

 

This forum has a motto.
Go Bosch or walk home

 

Not sure how that helped...

 

I bought mine here:

I haven't had to use it yet, but it's a Bosch and a bit less than the Ebay site.

Thanks, I had a look and they don't ship international, to Australia.

 

Thanks, unfortunately they charge $58.91 as the cheapest shipping method and $110.04 for express to Australia.

I have gone ahead and ordered it from germanautosupply on eBay as he seems to carry genuine bosch, he offered to ship it for $25 via USPS Priority to Australia, so $70 delivered not bad!

Well if you are stuck and can't start your car, you can clutch start it to get it started and then drive home... rather do that than pay $200 to tow it home!

 

1. If the CPS is indeed bad, you can try clutch start until :
a. the clutch wears out
b. you run out of hill
c. your pusher runs out of gas
AND IT STILL WON'T FIRE !!!!

2. Not that many Crossfires WITH a clutch - most are 5 sp autos.
