Bosch Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor P/N:0261210247
Bosch 0261210147 crankshaft position sensor for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat V6 2.8L and other vehicles reads crankshaft position and rotational speed and sends them to the engine control unit. The unit uses that data for ignition timing and fuel injection, and the sensor is manufactured to OE specifications.
Hard starting, stalling or a check engine light can mean the sensor is worn, though a damaged wiring connector or the camshaft position sensor can also lie behind them. If the sensor is the cause, a Bosch crank sensor replaces it.
The 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat V6 2.8L, the 1999-2001 Volkswagen Jetta 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2000-2001 Jetta 4-cylinder 1.8L, and, as a VW Golf crankshaft position sensor, the 1999-2001 Golf 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2000-2001 Golf 4-cylinder 1.8L are among the vehicles this sensor fits, along with other Volkswagen and Audi models. If your car isn't named here, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab.
