Crankshaft sensor eh Interesting I was leaning towards the camshaft sensor since that's what the error code pointed to When you say inspected what exactly should I be looking for

Apologies I meant to say camshaft sensor I misremembered the exact component in my Vauxhall Yes examine the sensor for cracks loose wiring or signs of moisture intrusion Also check the connector for bent pins or corrosion If you're not comfortable doing this it might be best to consult with a qualified workshop to avoid causing further damage

I appreciate the insight I wiggled the wiring but no luck I took it to the shop It ended up being exactly what I suspected the camshaft sensor connection was bad A new connector fixed it Thanks

I understand you are experiencing issues with your Mercedes Citan I had a similar experience with my previous Vauxhall Astra The symptoms were slightly different I experienced significant rough idling and occasional engine misfire but it also turned out to be a crankshaft sensor failure Have you inspected the sensor itself for any physical damage or corrosion Automotive sensors can sometimes fail due to environmental factors
