How to access and replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor on Audi A4?

In four-cylinder models, CKP sensor is very inaccessible as it is situated at the back of oil filter housing. Firstly start off by emptying the engine oil and then the oil filter housing. The electrical connector should then be unhooked to the CKP sensor, then the mounting fastener then the CKP sensor. The installation is an inverted process of removal. In the case of V6 models, lift the front of the car and place it on jackstands. The CKP sensor is found on the bellhousing of the transmission, just above the ring gear. Unscrew the electrical lead on the sensor connector, and screw out the mounting fastener and sensor. Once more, the installation is the opposite of uninstalling.

Audi A4 Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Audi A4 Crankshaft Position Sensor provides the engine computer with timely information on the crankshaft angle and speed to allow precise distribution of the spark and fuel. This miniature electronic watcher is fitted near the crank pulley, flywheel, or directly on the shaft, and the signals it produces are translated into ignition timing and injection commands all the time so that the sedan starts faster, idles better, and can meet emission standards. Models of the early 1990s applied inductive style pickups, which generate output voltage as a toothed wheel triggers the sensor tip, whereas subsequent Audi applications applied Hall effect or magnetoresistive devices, which detect changes in the magnetic field even at low cranking rates and allow the Crankshaft Position Sensor to respond more quickly. Some performance models were equipped with optical sensing for the Crankshaft Position Sensor when precise edge recognition was required, but the lens could foul much like sealed magnetic types. In all versions the purpose remained the same, to coordinate the events of combustion and to coordinate with the cam sensor to activate variable valve timing. The great enemies are heat, vibration, and corrosion. Therefore, when the Crankshaft Position Sensor deteriorates, drivers can experience difficulty starting the engine, misfiring, loss of power, or stalling once it is warm. Recent Audi models take care of the electronics of the Crankshaft Position Sensor by ensuring they are sealed to avoid fluid damage, but Audi drivers can observe warning signs. The reason it is important to select the correct style for a certain A4 production year is connected to the fact that connector shapes and signal characteristics vary, and by ensuring that the correct part number specified by Audi is applied, you are guaranteed to maintain ECU communication.

Choose original equipment manufacturer Crankshaft Position Sensor for great performance and strong durability. They use Audi's official craftsmanship and high-grade materials, and meet strict quality standards. Are you looking for quality Crankshaft Position Sensor at a good price? Come to our online store. We carry a wide range of genuine parts for your Audi A4 and the prices are competitive. Each part comes with the manufacturer's warranty. You can install with confidence and get steady results.
