I ordered a new crank position sensor for my C320. Could someone PLEASE tell me how to replace it? I need a diagram or something to show me the location of the part.

 

I need help replacing my crank position sensor on my C320. Someone told me to remove the AirMass sensor...that means nothing to me! Please help!

 

location is behind left / drivers side cylinder head

I'm sorry I didn't get back here sooner. I located the part and replaced it. Thanks for the help anyway! I must say that finding the part is not the hard part. Due the fact the sensor is located between the firewall and the cylinder head, there isn't any room to get leverage on a tool to get the screw to turn. I ended up putting an 8mm torx bit on the screw head, added an extension to that, and then hooked a nut driver in to the end of the extension. This made the tool about 10inches-1ft long from screw to the end of the handle of the nut driver. I was able to take a pair of Robo-Grips and gain leverage by twisting the screw driver handle. Once the screw broke free, I could actually turn it with just the torx bit in my hand.

 

Thanks for the good information. I'm new here and just finished replacing that cps "B". In the process I broke a hose connection which I do not know what it is, it goes attached to the firewall into the brake master system on the driver side.
Took some pictures:




Does somebody know the name of this hose connection and function?

Thanks so much

I broke the same tube. Andres, did you ever find out what it is, what it does? thanks

 

Yes is a plastic pipe that goes to the brake system , some kind of vacuum hose. Cost is like $80, taking the broken piece out of the head was a PITA.
