Default Camshaft Position Sensor Question to the Experts

Can anyone tell me if the crankshaft position sensor used on the 2.5 & 3 litre V6 engine will also fit & work on the 2.1 Litre engine ?

I note you say Cam sensors - there are 2 and are different from the actual crankcase sensor. Did you just make a typo or what ?. In my case I had this trouble prior to a service, new plugs were fitted during this service and still this made no difference. These cars are problematic for sure. Anyhow thank you for your much valued reply.

Yes I thought so - anyway I now know where to access this part. Thermo is a fantastic and helpful member, and from my own recollection has assisted many poor souls in distress.
I now only await the arrival of a shiny new CPS from the states (much cheaper in spite of postage charges)
