where is the crankshaft position sensor on 2.5 liter vw jetta
the position off the crankshaft sensor
On the head
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor)
There isnt one.
Crankshaft sensor is located on the right side of the cylinder block behind or under the starter. It is fitted into the rear crankshaft oil seal hausing.
It's inside the distributor housing.
No such thing as Crankshaft sensor on VW Sharan. It has a Knock Sensor, dose the same thing as C/S but they call it Knock Sensor as it is not fitted to C/S or pully area. It bolts to the front of the engine near the gearbox and has a 10mm bolt holding it in place. 3 wires come from it at the front of the engine on a white plastic connector. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strange as I replaced one this morning on a VW Sharon, ruling out any component without knowing the engine code is totaly worthless. and saying a knock sensor is the same as a crankshaft sensor is total bs. I suggest you only give advice when you know what your talking about my friend.
just aside of the oil filter, threaded into the bottom front of block.
next to the flywheel but you need to rimove the gear box fast
The manual says 85.000 miles or 135.000 km on the 2.5TDI
The crankshaft sensor is located under the oil filter and to the right (from above) where the bell housing bolts to the engine. A 4mm hex bolt is used to retain it. The wire is on top of gearbox in a metal bracket. kevin
