Title: Camshaft positioner sensor
Post by: WYTHIT on August 20, 2011, 01:41:48 pm: Is it easy to fit a new one?

Post by: vRSAlex on August 20, 2011, 06:44:47 pm: Yes. Just remove the airbox, unplug the sensor which is on the front left of the engine pointing downwards, remove the torx t-30 bolt and the sensor will come out. Fitting is the opposite. ;)

My advice and from personal experience is to get a genuine VW one and not one from ECP...
