Can the harmonic balancer being installed incorrectly cause the cam sensor magnet to go bad on a 1991 Buick Park Ave?
I think you mean the "Crank Sensor" since it's magnetic (The cam sensor is optical). Not sure how you could install the balancer incorrectly since it is "Keyed" onto the crankshaft. If the "Key" was missing you could get it installed other than at the right timing location but even then the metal tabs on the back of the balancer should still go through the sensor's slot ok. Unless the sensor is not adjusted correctly. Usually the crank sensor (Hall Effect) isn't effected by anything other than physical contact from something. I've seen them destroyed because someone used bolts that were other than OEM that were to long to install the crankshaft pulley onto the balancer That causes the metal tab (Sensor Flag) ring on the back of the balancer to be pushed into the sensor. TommyTrouble The cam sensor IS magenetic in these cars. BUT installing the balencer on the CRANK would not cause damage to the cam sensor, it would damage the crank sensor which is a hall effect. The cam sensor/magnet usually malfunctions on these cars. The cam sensor itself it easy to change, but the magnet is not.

On the 98, there is no block heater installed right out of the factory, so therefor, there won't be a plug. If you want a block heater installed, you can get ones that either magnet or glue to the bottome of the oil pan. I believe that this is the only option for the passat.
