Galloper Crankshaft Camshaft Error

I'm having a head-scratcher with my 2001 Hyundai Galloper, diesel engine. The check engine light is on, and I've noticed a drop in engine power, plus it feels sluggish when I accelerate. Fuel consumption seems higher too. I scanned it with my OBD2 reader and it's throwing up a "Crankshaft to Camshaft Reference Value" error. I'm thinking it might be the crank sensor. Anyone else had similar issues?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue on my old Opel astra. Check engine light, reduced power, and it turned out to be a faulty crank sensor. It messes with the engine synchronization.

Interesting. So, was it definitely the crank sensor on your Opel, and did you have the same error code? Was it difficult to diagnose?

Yeah, replacing the crank sensor fixed it. The garage confirmed the diagnosis. Honestly, unless you have the right tools and know-how, I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. A faulty cam sensor could cause the same issues.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to my local garage, and you were spot on. It was indeed the crank sensor. They replaced it, and the engine's running smoothly again. Cost me 340€ all in. Much appreciated!
