Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have W204, M272 engine 2008-C350 and I could not find the dang sensor. It is on the same location as it is on yours.You saved the day.
Great Job Alberto. Many videos show how to change this sensor without removing the main engine air hose, but that way is very difficult to find position of sensor. You gave a very good explanation and I am thankful.
Thanks for putting this video together Alberto. I watched every RUclips on how to do this but yours gave me the confidence to go ahead and do it. Some of the videos say you can get at the E8 without a U-joint on the E8 socket. I can confirm that you absolutely do need a U-joint. My only issue was that the hose, pictured in your video at 2:13 (upper right) developed a split at the top end of that T junction. I plugged the end of the hose back into the air intake elbow and zip tied the split hose around that little nipple there. Probably should replace the hose anyway though. After replacement, checked the diag codes and everything looks good. Engine is running normal. Will test when the rain stops. Thanks again, great video.
Excellent description! Difficult to find! I took off the fender well plastic (the half in front of the firewall) and I'm trying to approach it from underneath. I still can't see the position sensor, so I'll have to feel around for it too. Thanks for your help!
Very clear video instructions. Up to now, I got everything out except for the sensor. It looks so hard because looks like it’s on the side of the motor, not on top. I am not sure I can do it, but I am at the last part, I have to finish it. I wonder if I don’t have to remove the power connector. Remove the screw and the sensor out together at the same time. Do I have to remove the power connector before I can see the screw? Thank you.
Hi, I did remove the power, then the screw and then the sensor. And the sensor is so hidden that everything was done by touch, just by feeling the parts because I couldn't see anything. Good luck 🤞
It's been a while since I replaced mine but in the minute 2 of the video you can see the connectot, it has a little button or a little part that you can press and then you pull it out. Take a look at the new crankshaft and you'll see that it has a tab that it will secure the connector when you put it back in place. I hope it helps
I watched your video again and again and I think you pressed the latch at the rear end of the connector. I will try this when Amazon delivers my sensor this afternoon, hopefully. Thank you for your help.
my car had a rough idle and turn off by itself i changed the fule pump it was raelly dirty i cleaned the injectors after that i run it , and a poping sound came out of the intake manifold and it never started after that it cranks but doesn't start No RPM while cranking the sparks work fine the fuel reaches the injector could it be a bad crank position sensor? or an intake manifold problem?
I did the exact same thing to my 99' CLK320 😂 I bought all the extensions and it took me a whole day to break the bolt loose. So when I replaced the sensor I made sure to only hand tighten the bolt so I could get it off easier in the future.
Use a 1/4 socket on your extension end to go on the 8mm bolt, it fits easier than the star 8mm, and just down tighten with feel without stripping, it will be better than just hand tightening.
Mine broke off in it, taking apart the top half of motor. Will this timing be off? Got to take apart. My skills are 8. Tools are ok but timing new. Need video to see all to chain on driver side to the crankshaft
I just finished doing my E55 AMG yr 2000 today jan 29 and i took 2 days messing with that crankshaft screw including buying the part 51 dollars from Autozone, car cranked but wouldn't start, put a 25 dollar fuel pump relay and still no start, also used the paper in the bolt to socket so it fits tight and wont fall out, i use paper thicker than newspaper because i want to lightly tap the bolt in with a hammer, also put Olive Oil on a paper towel and rub down your palms, back of your hands and wrists so its slippery getting in tight spaces so you dont scrach and bleed, and try not to get any grease or dirt on that Crankshaft sensor, i kept the olive oil off my fingers as to not touch the sensor tip, im no mechanic but i had to do the job because it would of cost me 500 dollars flatbed tow, part, and repair and thats not even the dealership, thats an arab repairmans Benz shop. The dealership might charge me 700 bucks, paying that kind of money makes mechanics outta us non mechanics.
I just did this on my clk v6, absolute pig of a job. I did it with a stethoscope camera and bent long nose pliers in the end. Didn’t remove maf. Took me around 3 hours. Pig job
.... im have to do this on a 05 c230 Kompressor.... this is a bitch to get to.. for the last couple of days i have just been eyeing it.....try to locate it.... i think im going to try to go in from the top.... removing the oil filter cap(and coving it) should get my the clearance at least to get my hand down a little bit... your the man thanks
Did you ever get it out, shiett man i spent 2 days of hell eyeing and finnally getting that thing out of my Benz way down on near the crankshaft flywheel, remember Olive oil kn the hands, forearms, and wrists make sliding in and out of tight spaces easy.

This is the best tutorial about location and replacing crankshaft position sensor. After watching it took me about 15 min to install new one. Thanks.
Great to hear, I am glad I could help

Thank you
Appreciate a real person not a professional or parts person showing the install. Better prepared me to do the job and what to expect! Thanks 👍

You are very welcome
Alberto, good work. Your's is the best video on this. Thanks.
Thanks for the info bro, so much effort you put in there, well done

@@albertojquintero75 Thank you Alberto.
I reached the sensor but don’t know how to pull out the power connector. Can you please tell me how? Thank you.

does it fix NO SPARK problem?
Buongiorno, bel video complimenti eccellente spiegazione.
molte grazie
Thanks for your help!!!, this is the best video replacing this sensor
Glad it helped
Good video sir. Good job. My arm ended very scratched but worked. Thanks
Awesome 👍
Thank you for the help! It means alot
my car had a rough idle and turn off by itself
i changed the fule pump it was raelly dirty
i cleaned the injectors
after that i run it , and a poping sound came out of the intake manifold
and it never started after that
it cranks but doesn't start
No RPM while cranking
the sparks work fine
the fuel reaches the injector
could it be a bad crank position sensor?
or an intake manifold problem?
Sounds timing chain when you start the engine, this noise comes only when is cold engine and dissapair when warms up , Is right ?

😂 I didn't think of that
Mine broke off in it, taking apart the top half of motor. Will this timing be off? Got to take apart. My skills are 8. Tools are ok but timing new. Need video to see all to chain on driver side to the crankshaft
Before wifey want to get another car payment.
I cannot get the sonor out. Its stuck solid. How do I get over this.
Thanks for the video. I had tried several times but still cannot locate where it is. After watching your video, I will try again.
Good luck, let us know
@@albertojquintero75Just tried one more time, still cannot locate where it is. My car is clk230, w208, year 2000. Appreciated if anyone can help.
Is the crank shaft sensor the same are for Mercedes c 280 1995?
Hi, there is a webpage called europarts where you can check the specific part number that you need. i think they have pretty good prices too
Did you mean a glue @605? Thanks
It is actually duct tape, I put it on the head of the screw so it wouldn't fall.
W203 C180K is just cranking no spark pls help I need 2 go 2 my village soon
Can they go bad without throwing check engine light?
This helped me a lot. Thank you for the video
You are welcome 🤝

Why calling BMW for a Mercedes part? 😂 that’s why it’s expensive
I know I made that mistake, lol. But it is a benz part
