BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* set of four camshaft position sensors to suit BMW N62 and N63 V8.

A V8 uses four cam sensors and they tend to fail one after another. Replace the full set in one job - dispatched from Victoria same-day before 12pm.

TO SUIT

Fits the N62 V8 in the E60 540i and 545i, E63 E64 645Ci and 650i, E65 E66 735i to 750i and X5 E53 4.4i, plus the N63 in the F01 F02 750i and X5 X6 xDrive50i. Also listed for the X6 M and the 760Li.

FITMENT CHECK

Four sensors supplied - intake and exhaust for each bank. Six cylinder engines need two, so choose the 2-pack for those.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

4 x BRAND NEW camshaft position sensors with 3-pin D-shaped connectors and seal rings.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

Each bank of the V8 has its own intake and exhaust VANOS with a sensor on every camshaft. The DME needs all four to keep the banks synchronised.

One failing sensor sets bank-specific cam codes and rough running. Heat between the cylinder banks ages them all together.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Cam codes P0340 P0345 P0365 P0390
VANOS faults and rough idle
Limp mode
Hard hot starting

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
