Camshaft position sensor seals/gaskets/o-rings

While having my alternator replaced due to a significant leak from the RH timing chain cover, the mechanic found the camshaft position sensor seals and the variable timing solenoid actuator seals leaking as well.

I was able to find the variable timing solenoid actuator seals separately by contacting another independent shop. They provided part number LR011954 Variable Timing Solenoid Seal. https://landrover.lakeridgeparts.com/p/53258809/LR011954.htm
These are cheap and cost effective at around $6 instead of replacing the entire unit at $200-400.. They are ‘6643’ in the diagram.

I have not been able to find the camshaft position sensor seals. It appears the entire sensor must be replaced at significant cost versus replacing the seal itself. Has anyone had any luck finding the seals separately? It is the brown o-ring in the picture. Surely they are a standard size and can be found elsewhere.

Your mechanic should have a stock of O rings, one should fit that... Thumbs Up Pete

That’s what I was thinking, but since it is a warranty job they want to make sure it doesn’t come back I think. If I was doing it, I would go searching for an o-ring myself. They don’t have that kind of time as replacing parts is faster and easier. They are a great shop, but they don’t want do-overs. Dan. 🇨🇦 2013 L405 5.0 SCV8

Don't think you will have much luck on here, most have fatties powered by the devils brew... very few petrols.... Pete

So I pulled a sensor out, the RH upper is the easiest and took it to my local auto parts store to see if I could match the o-ring. They didn’t have a new sensor in stock to compare too.

A new OEM sensor from JLR $240 CAD. New generic o-ring $0.23. I replaced all four. That’s a $1,074.22 savings before labour. Even the cheapest aftermarket sensor was $23.89 CAD. That’s $114.40 savings before labour.

The LH side is a bit harder to replace, but not impossible. More grunting.

Used on the left vs. New on the right
