Crank Position Sensor and Cam Sensor Repair Cost in UAE 2026
The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) and camshaft position sensor (CMP) are two of the most important engine management sensors in a modern UAE vehicle. Both are prone to failure from UAE heat and vibration and are a frequent cause of no-start, stalling, and check engine light visits at UAE workshops. This guide covers crank sensor and cam sensor repair costs at UAE workshops in 2026.
Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost UAE 2026
Crankshaft position sensor replacement costs AED 100 to AED 600 in UAE workshops including parts and labour. Japanese vehicles including Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi cost AED 100 to AED 300. European vehicles including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen cost AED 200 to AED 600. The CKP sensor is usually accessible without major disassembly on Japanese vehicles, keeping labour costs low. On some European engines, the CKP sensor location requires partial engine or transmission access.
Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost UAE 2026
Camshaft position sensor replacement costs AED 100 to AED 700 in UAE workshops. Japanese and Korean vehicles cost AED 100 to AED 300. European vehicles cost AED 200 to AED 700. Engines with separate intake and exhaust camshaft sensors, including many VVT-equipped engines common in UAE-market Toyota and Honda vehicles, may require two sensors if both are faulty. Combined CKP and CMP sensor replacement is sometimes performed simultaneously when both codes are present.
OBD2 Diagnosis Before Sensor Replacement in UAE
Before replacing crank or cam sensors, a UAE workshop should perform a full OBD2 diagnostic scan and check for related faults including timing issues, misfire patterns, and wiring continuity. Wiring harness damage from heat cracking is a common cause of intermittent sensor faults in UAE vehicles and requires harness repair rather than sensor replacement. OBD2 diagnosis costs AED 50 to AED 150 at most UAE workshops. Find engine diagnostic workshops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and all UAE emirates on GarageBuddy UAE.
