Hi All, I need to change the crank angle sensor on my `05 2.0 tdi 140 Avant, but it is looking a hellish job...... As far as I can see, it is located at the rear of the engine on the nearside, buried-and I mean buried,under a myriad of pipes and cables right behind the oil filter/ oil cooler assembly.It seems to me that I will have to drain and remove all of the oil filt/cooler assy to get to the sensor....... Has anyone done this job? (surely someone must have!)
Am I right in saying removal of the oil filter/cooler housing is the only way to gain access to the sensor, or is there another way? Any info appreciated, Bob C.
