Keep the spark and fuel timing dialed in with the Hitachi Astemo Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS0086) — if you're hunting a Golf sensor that reports crank position accurately, this is a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2016 Audi A3, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Golf, 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, 2015 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Passat. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage.
The crankshaft position sensor tracks the rotational position and speed of the crankshaft and sends that signal to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) so it can manage ignition and fuel-injection timing.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include hard starting, stalling, misfires, or a crank-position-related trouble code. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources.
