stewgnu Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 What's the black plug situated just by the oil sensor, attached with two cap heads, forward of the left cylinder? Wondering as mine has begun to weep a wee bit of oil. Stew
rossi46 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 tdc sensor? I think there's an 'O' ring under it, maybe thats perished?
docc Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 tdc sensor? I think there's an 'O' ring under it, maybe thats perished? +1, and yes the #112 O-ring plays up after a time. Though, often the fasteners can just use a bit of a cinch. Mine also leaked through the wiring.
stewgnu Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Ah, cheers guys. Yeah I gave them a wee tweek but it didn't stop the weepage. I'll pull it and check the seal.
czakky Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Be careful with the aluminum spacer(s)! Mine needed a gasket sealer before it stopped weeping.
gstallons Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 The metal washer(s) is used to set the air gap between the sensor tip and the reluctor teeth . If there is oil coming out of the cavity where the wiring plugs into the sensor , you should replace the sensor .
rossi46 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 stew the one for a fiat/alfa is a quarter of the price of a guzzi one, do a google
stewgnu Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Yet more expense.... I think I found one on ebay for £55- does that sound right?
Paradiso Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I can't verify whether it's the correct one, but there's one for £25.98 on Ebay in UK. Couldn't post a link, but search "crank sensor Moto Guzzi V11"
Welshguzzi Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I believe that the Alfa part is only compatible with certain years, so it might be a good idea to check before shelling out your spondulies
docc Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Does the Guzzi part number for the V11 cam sensor/ TDC sensor/ timing sensor change over the range? The 1999-2001 parts manual shows this: #35 Phase/revolution sensor - - - - - GU01721600
Welshguzzi Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I think the later ones are different, but I'm only going on second-hand knowledge, so apologies if I'm feeding you misinformation!
stewgnu Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 I checked the 2004 owners manual and it lists the Timing Sensor as SEN813. They're on ebay uk, like Paradiso mentions, in a motorcycle specific listing (v11, Brutale, Ducati) for £26. I'm just off out to the bike now to remove the old one and check it.
stewgnu Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 P.S. Quite glad the leak wasn't coming from somewhere else... Somewhere more involved....
