I broke the sensor when changing the banjo bolt filter. The connector part is "cracked" apart from the rest of the sensor. It has been throwing a CEL P2016 (= Tumble Generator Valve position sensor 1 (RH) ) for the past three years. @90K mi I have the engine moved forward to change the squealing throw out bearing (and clutch) and figured I should look at the sensor while I am at it.

OK got it out! It takes a little bit of alignment and the help of a long screw driver to "push" it past the shaft. It removes a tiny amount of plastic from the sensor. Now the hard part: can the sensor be fixed (cracked body) or replaced with a Throttle Position sensor?

Anyone know how to remove the passenger side TGV sensor? I have both screws out, the sensor is loose, but it is stuck between the TGV shaft and the housing of the turbo. Can the shaft be pulled in by removing the motor on the other side? Is there such a thing as loosening the turbo to get the part out? Anyone?
