I can confirm I just removed my crankshaft position sensor off my 2015 Passat TDI from the bottom with a $20 Amazon endoscope for my phone and a long ball head hex bit. I can remove the sensor in about 5 minutes without removing anything from the car. From the bottom the sensor is located right next to the oil filter housing. With an endoscope you can stick the camera in the hole, with your other hand, stick the tool in the hole. Once you seated the tool on the nut, sit down the camera, connect your ratchet and take it out. They go in much easier than you would think, They only go in one way. And then reverse the process to put it back in.

Hey can you send a link to the endoscope?

You dont need to do all that. You can get to it from underneath with a long ball hex.

Thanks for the video. Have you considered going from underneath?

@corymcdowell7295 Жыл бұрын

I'm currently doing one and from underneath isn't much better. I actually used a die-grinder to take some of the side wall off for a little more access. It's a superficial mold vein, so I figured it couldn't hurt much. Idk why they set it so far back in a hole.

Hi I was replacing an oil pan on a MK6 GOLF TDI 2.0, was beating on it with a mallet relatively hard and was wondering if it could have damaged the crank position sensor because it doesn't start.

@bobirving6052 7 ай бұрын

Uh oh. What was it? I doubt the hammering messed it up unless you hammered the wiring. It’s a fine wire coil inside and I think it’s the heat cycles and inferior materials that cause failure.
