So i was changing my crank position sensor on my 2.0TDI in hope it would fix my rough warm start issue that has been progressively getting worse for over a year, the bolt retaining the sensor was very seized and starting to round, i used a hex extraction kit and it removed the bolt with the sensor and snapped part of the crankcase sealing flange with it

Ouch! That's going to be an expensive welding repair because it cannot be done in situ.

im going to remove the gearbox and change the seal flange, not what i was expecting to be doing when changing a crank sensor but oh well

Please keep us posted on how you get on
