Ford Transit crankshaft camshaft reference value issue

Hi, I have a 2000 Ford Transit diesel. Check engine light is on. Getting reduced power, poor engine response, and higher fuel consumption. Diagnostics points to a crankshaft to camshaft reference value issue. Mileage is 184991 km. Could a defective crankshaft sensor be the culprit?

Hey, I had similar issues with my Transit. Reference value error...sounds familiar. Have you checked the timing chain? Could also be the cam sensor acting up, though the crankshaft sensor is the more likely culprit, I think.

Thanks for the reply. Did you have the same symptoms? How did you resolve it?

Yes, practically the same symptoms. In my case, it turned out to be the crankshaft sensor. I'd get it checked at a workshop if I were you. It's hard to be certain without proper diagnostics.

Thanks. I'll take it to a workshop and have it checked thoroughly. The crankshaft sensor seems most plausible. The repair cost will be 340€. I appreciate your help!
