Kangoo Camshaft Sensor Issue

Had similar symptoms on my Kangoo. Check the camshaft sensor itself, and the wiring loom where it runs near the engine. They can get brittle and crack from heat.

Thanks! Did you replace the sensor, or just the wiring? Any rough idling or stalling with the starting problem?

Replaced the sensor and repaired damaged wiring. A bad sensor can throw off timing, causing rough running, hard starts, and power loss. I'd recommend a workshop diagnosis and repair.

Appreciate the advice! The local shop found a dodgy camshaft sensor connection, like we thought. New sensor and wiring repair cost 95€. Runs great now!
