#1: 206 2.0gti non start when hot Author: gibbo300, Location: bromley, kentPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2016 9:16 am ---- 1999 model year 2.0 gti . car cuts out when hot and then wont start. turns over ok but doesn't fire. once it has cooled down it will start fine and drives before cutting out when it reaches temperature. had this on a 206 1.1 previously and it was the crankshaft sensor. does the 2.0 gti have a crank sensor as I cant see one. or is it the camshaft sensor that does the same job on these engines. comments thankfully received.

#5: Re: 206 2.0gti non start when hot Author: gibbo300, Location: bromley, kentPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2016 12:51 pm ---- cant seem to find the crank sensor on the gearbox ? only thing I can see is a connector near the front of the car on the gearbox that looks more like a reverse switch maybe. do I need to remove anything to see the crank sensor? I seem to remember someone saying that it doesn't have a crank sensor ?its not a 180 just a 2.0 gti.

They definataly do have one, i've had to change it on mine before now. It's a very small sensor and it's quite well hidden, but it is visible.
Might be easier to see with the air box and battery tray removed. Follow the bell housing around where the flywheel is. Underneath the thermostat housing.
