Crankshaft position sensor location

Thanks, guess its going to the dealer, just worried herd the dealership are giving people a hard time with this fix, still has 100,000 power train warranty, so wish me luck

I have the same problem, but I am outside the power train warranty. The dealer said they weren't sure but the can take the engine apart for 665.00. However it could be the sensor. I felt like I was in a circus. Error P0008 engine position sensor bank 1. It's been over a year and 4 mechanics. What was your resolution?

Hello I have the same code p0008, called a
Suzuki dealership in Mississauga and was told the repair will cost $3500 dollars. Don't have that much vehicle out of warranty. Have been driving it like that for the last year now, keeps getting louder and gas mileage is now terrible. Seems in the summer months the check engine light comes on intermittently but when cold is on constantly. Please help with any info u might have on this issue.

I had this same problem (code P0008). I took the car to my mechanic twice and 500 dollars later the light still came on. I decided, having some auto background, to look at it myself. The sensors on the car are "hall effects" sensors and easy to test. Spend a litlle time and research. It's worth the effort. My mechanic told me I would need an engine removal and timing chain replacement. (NOT TRUE)
My mechanic replaced the sensors on the left side of the engine which were actually bank 2. Bank 1 on a this Suzuki is the right side. I replaced those two and the car runs perfect. No more problems.
Be careful out there. There are alot of so called "mechanics" pretending they know what their doing.

Thank you so much RogerFoster. I hope the sensor will repair my issue as well. Every mechanic I took it to didn't know where bank one was. I just want to confirm. The right side of the engine if you were standing in front of the car correct/.

Ok thanks I will let my mechanic know. Hope that fixes my year long problem.

Looking to have sensor replaced and was hoping to be able to replace the part myself. Just not certain if the job is intricately involved beyond what I can do depending on its position. Please advise.

Hello again and thank you for your prompt response and help with this issue. I have since been able to purchase a new sensor and have been somewhat concerned (more like anxious) about my ability to replace the sensor. Although you shared that the process is simple, after looking further, it seems as if I'd need to remove the radiator along with a few other parts to get to the sensor Is this right?
