Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor P/N:PC712
Keep the spark and fuel timing dialed in with the Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor PC573 — the S4 sensor that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a range of Audi V6 models. This crankshaft position sensor tracks the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft and reports that signal to the engine control module, which uses it to time ignition and fuel delivery. When the original sensor degrades, the result can be hard starting, stalling, intermittent misfire, or a check engine light — if a failed crankshaft position sensor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Fitment: 1995-1998 Audi A6 (V6-2.8L); 2000-2002 Audi S4 (V6-2.7L); 2001-2004 Audi A6 Quattro (V6-2.7L); 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro (V6-2.7L); 2002-2004 Audi A6 Quattro (V6-3.0L). See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle and engine.
What does the PC573 crankshaft position sensor do?
It monitors the crankshaft's position and rotational speed, then sends that signal to the engine control module so it can time the ignition spark and fuel injection correctly.
Will this sensor fit my Audi S4?
Yes — the PC573 is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2002 Audi S4 with the V6-2.7L engine. Confirm your exact vehicle and engine in the Buyer's Guide tab.
What are signs this crankshaft position sensor may need replacing?
