Walker Products 235-1729 crankshaft position sensor for the 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 4.2L tracks the crankshaft's rotational speed and position. It passes that data to the engine control module, which uses it to time fuel injection and ignition.
- Picks up irregularities in engine cycles, which helps with misfire detection
- Works alongside camshaft position sensors to coordinate valve and piston movement
- Withstands temperature swings, mechanical vibration and exposure to engine fluids
- Resists electromagnetic interference
