Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 917-030 engine variable timing eccentric shaft sensor
- Fits: 2008-2013 BMW 128i 6-cylinder 3.0L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A failing eccentric shaft sensor can show up as a check engine light or rough running, but other faults can look the same, so find the cause before you replace it. With the engine off and cool, look for oil seepage around the sensor and its connector, and leave running tests to a shop.
