Where is the Crankshaft Poition Sensor B on a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

From what I have learned Sensor B is just a code that is being transmitted to the computer. There are several different codes that the crankshaft sensor will send depending on what is going wrong with the car. There should only be one crankshaft sensor on the vehicle.

To reach the sensor, you need to jack the car up. With a 15mm or 17mm (forget which), you need to remove 2 starter bolts and move the starter out of the way. Behind and above the starter you will find the sensor. A 10mm bolt holds it. Fairly easy to do, took about an hour in the dark at 0F. Brrrrr

How do you change the headlight bulb on a Vauxhall zafira?

AnswerThere are four headlamp bulbs on a Zafira,one dip and one main beam per side.They are dead easy to get at.The outer (dipped beam) lamps have brown plastic bodies and the inner (main beam)lamps have white bodies. Whichever bulb you are replacing,press the release tag on the wiring loom clip and push it off.The bulb body will then rotate anticlockwise about a 1/4 turn and come out.Replacement is obviously reverse order,do not touch the glass envelope as a greasy fingerprint will cause premature failure.If you do touch it,clean with soft cloth and alcohol.

In the case of the passenger bulbs they are very easy to change however from personal experience the drivers side is much more difficult.

The driver side front bulbs are more difficult to change because the air filter is positioned above and behind the extraction point for the bulb holders. In the case of the dipped beam headlight bulb the easiest option I have found is to remove the five torx screws from the air filter box, remove two screws holding the headlight in place. remove the sidelight to the left of the bulb you are replacing as this obstructs its extraction.[ held in by a clip that you raise to release] then pull the headlight forward gently at the top to gain about half inch of space and then lift the air filter box top about four inches.

You can clearly see your target bulb and case which with a quarter turn will be released and with the additional space you have created should extract clearly.

Note the position of the bulb before removal to ensure the replacement is not put in upside down then not touching the glass part of the new bulb insert it into the bulb holder.

When repositioning the bulb holder it can be difficult unless you remember the position from which it first came. I noted that in my case the straight part of the bulb holder needed to be positioned pointing at the sidelight side of the wing before it would slot in properly and then a quarter turn towards the engine secured it.

Replace the side light bulb by inserting it into its holder remembering to position the clip the same way it was removed. [top or bottom] In my case the drivers was under the light and the passengers was above the light] [You may feel or hear a click as it locks in position]

Then replace and secure the air filter box top with the five torx screws.

How do you push the rear caliper piston back after changing the brake pads on a vauxhall vectra with automatic handbrake adjusteri have tried pushing it back but it wont budge?

Why you can't push the piston back.

The majority of calipers that incorporate a hand brake mechanism have an adjuster inside which compensates for pad wear. Forcing the piston back can damage this adjuster. Ideally you should use a piston wind back tool - this rotates the piston and pushes it back at the same time.

You can get away without this tool, but do NOT use grips on the hydraulic surface! Most handbrake calipers require you to rotate the piston clockwise, do this a turn at a time, then push piston back gently (if you apply the handbrake lever slightly by hand - you'll feel when you've taken up the play)

Saab 9000, Volvo 480 and Mazda handbrake calipers have an hex key adjuster hidden behind a bung - use a 4mm hex key to wind/adjust pistons on these type of calipers.

Isn't the internet a wonderful thing when we're stuck - Mrbrakes.

Leaking oil from the top of my vauxhall vectra engine?

Normally oil leaking from the top of an engine is a sign that you have a leak at a valve cover. The cover may be loose or the gasket may be defective. Tighten the valve cover bolts to no more than 5 lb/ft of torque. If that does not stop the leak, the gasket will need replacing.
