Greetings to the whole community
Rereading the posts that have been published to date regarding the crankshaft sensor, I would like to ask the group some things that are not clear to me:
1. the crankshaft sensor is the one positioned near the crankshaft transmission pulley;
2. crankshaft sensor malfunction can prevent the vehicle from starting and generates DTC 335 and 336;
3. to replace the crankshaft sensor, is it necessary to remove the timing belt or can the CKP sensor be replaced without removing the timing belt?
4. in case of replacement of the CKP sensor, is it necessary to align it with the crankshaft pulley or is it replaced simply by removing the damaged sensor and installing the new one?
5. Does the CKP sensor need to be replaced with an original Land Rover or is a non-original sensor also okay?

Thanks to all who will answer me.

A well worn path your are on .. have a look at this site:

Answers all your questions .
The cabling and plug into the sensor should be checked as depending on your use, it is exposed in off road usage. So I would remove the plastic under arch panel rather than use the 'wood block' method juts to be able to work and inspect the cabling easier.

** Yes, but beware other codes and poor battery **

Several on this forum have reported issues with non LR parts , with the LR part some 4 times the price. Your choice .

1. Yes
2. Yes. Not always.
3. No. Yes.
4. No. Yes.
5. No. Yes.

Try the "Mister Auto" app or web site. It is part of the PSA group which makes your engine. Type in 'crankshaft sensor' and it will list all the ones they recommend. As for as I know they cover all of Europe and they are very comparative on price. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

The trigger wheel only needs replacing if it's damaged.
Otherwise just replace the sensor with an OE or genuine part. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

My doubt arose from the fact that the Land Rover dealer told me that the tone wheel must necessarily be replaced when the crankshaft speed sensor is replaced.

There are two versions of the sensor and magnetic wheels. Earlier and later versions. Later since the Evoque era, I believe.
If the dealer can source only the later type of sensor, then the magnetic wheel must be changed too.
Otherwise, as the other people said, try to source only the sensor.

For the moment I have ordered only the sensor. The sensor vendor looked on his stock software and told me the purchased sensor is fine for my FL. In any case, in these days I install it and see. Please note that my FL is from 2008.

Hi.
Changed my Crankshaft Sensor in 2019 with a part from ebay (Ford/Volvo part) CS1326 - Car runs fine.
Reason for change - occasional misfiring - 2008 SX.
Regards Gordon.

Thanks Gordon. I've got the same problem. Occasional misfires.
