Keep your engine's injection and ignition timing on cue with the Hitachi Astemo Engine Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS0051). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 2007-2010 Volkswagen Golf City, 1999-2005 and 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2007-2009 Volkswagen Jetta City.
A camshaft position sensor reports the camshaft's exact position and rotation to the engine control module, which uses that signal to help coordinate fuel-injector and ignition timing. When the original sensor degrades, the ECM can lose that reference.
- Core job: tracks camshaft position and feeds that data to the engine control module for timing decisions.
- Signs this part may need replacing: hard starting, stalling, a rough or hesitant run, or an illuminated check engine light — diagnose the cause first, and if a failed camshaft position sensor is behind it, this replaces the original unit.
- Direct-fit: a direct-fit replacement for the listed Volkswagen applications.
