This fault code, as almost any other fault is more likely to involve wiring issues than a defective sensor. Just replacing the sensor without checking and repairing issues like bad connections, high resistances, or intermittent loss of contact in the sensor's control system is like taking candy for a migraine headache. You need to take the car back to the mechanic who replaced the sensor, and demand that he perform continuity, resistance, reference voltage (if applicable), and ground connectivity checks on all the wiring that is associated with the crank position sensor. You will likely find that the issue was not a defective sensor, but a problem in the wiring. Or, as Gaurav suggested, take the car to Barry, who is a competent, professional mechanic who will find, and fix the REAL problem.

Absolutely loved this trip! @Rahimdad and @Gaurav were so welcoming and enthusiastic having myself and my 1 year old daughter along. I have the utmost respect for them. Listening to their advice along the trip, it made me realise that although they have loads of experience, they still respect the desert, and aimed to keep us safe while keeping it fun. I did manage to get a couple of photos, especially of a very distant one of @Gaurav chasing the gazelles. The video is amazing too! What a lovely memory keepsake. Thank you so much, and I look forward to another family-friendly drive. Pier x

Well to start clearing the code without fixing the real issue, often surface the same problem again after few days or week. More than likely I suspect same here. Have you seen the P0335 fault code in first instance by your eyes or trusted the mechanic words over the phone? If no, then stop trusting people over the phone. If yes, have you actually debug further what does this fault code actually points to and what all possible ways to fix it: in order from less expensive to most expensive. This way you will debug the right cause in most cost effective way and that's what any sane and honest mechanic should be doing it without even telling. Some time car throw the fault code coz of loosely close fuel filter cap, or loose wiring or loose sensor, so first response has to be correct all these and eliminate whatever you can do it yourself without replacing anything and clear the code and see if it re-appear. Then go with replacing stuff and so on. @Barry should be able to offer free scan of your car and also advise you what exactly needed now to fix it and then you can decide further. He is very trusted mechanic and maintaining all my cars currently especially my 18 years old Pajero. And I couldn't be more happier with my Pajero prime performance after latest barry's engine work he carried out. Sheer perfection and honest mechanic I have met after many years in Dubai.

Thanks Pier for appreciation, that tell us what majority of people here likes and dislikes. Btw, we missed you last week very much when at Shawka and Rahim even made mention of your Birthday on same day at our camping spot. Hope to see you guys soon and take care of April.

Thank you @Pier200. Too many kind words and amazingly you read it well. We do respect the desert and anyone who wants to discover the hidden gems and wonders where you cannot normally reach. Spotting the Gazelles was the highlight for us also and no matter how many time we sight them and other wildlife in the desert we are always in appreciation of the same. We respect Jason, you and April also for being such good company and keeping up in a slightly challenging terrain and sharing our respect for the desert by following instructions which kept us all safe. It was a pleasure to have you guys on the trip with us and April was playful and we enjoyed her smiles and giggles. Thank you for the amazing BBQ and wonderful company which we yearn for, and thus you will soon see many more such trips coming up regularly.

Here is my shaky video for the drive:

Update me in the list of participants. No BBQ this time so you will miss something for sure

I would have loved this too, but as our little one is a bit too young, and I'm a bit of a scaredy cat, I'll wait until the next family-friendly drive. I really enjoyed the Lisaili-Al Qudra lake drive, especially meeting you all. See you soon! Pier x
