I might not be much help due to me not knowing the engine, but have you checked the wiring?

It could be a wiring/plug fault rather than anything.

When I Sold Them At Vauxhall They Came With A Plug And Part Of A Loom Which Had To Be Soldered In Place Of The Old One !!!!! I Would Suggest Getting Your ar5e Down To A Main Dealer And Stop Messing Around With Pikey Aftermarket Stuff!!!!lol :d

Do they really trust dealer technicians to solder these days?

I thought they were only good for oil changes & test drives.

Agreed, do the loom modification. If you have changed a sensor and it don't work then its likely to be that.

Bro did this on his Cav XEV and she is fine. What tends to happen is the wiring can frey and touch the block which brings up wrong readings.
