BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* crankshaft position sensor to suit the BMW 320d 318d 420d and 520d with N47 or B47 diesel engines.

On a 320d the usual story is a car that cranks strongly and simply will not fire, or drops to limp mode once the engine is hot. A fresh crank sensor restores the signal the ECU needs to time injection. Packed and shipped from Cranbourne VIC.

TO SUIT

BMW 3 Series 320d and 318d - E90 sedan E91 Touring E92 coupe E93 convertible F30 F31 and F34 Gran Turismo - 2004 to 2018
BMW 4 Series 420d - F32 coupe F33 convertible and F36 Gran Coupe - 2013 to 2015
BMW 5 Series 520d - E60 sedan F10 sedan F11 Touring and F07 Gran Turismo - 2007 to 2017

FITMENT CHECK

The 3 Series ran several N47 variants and they are not interchangeable. The E90 320d at 130kW needs N47 D20 A and at 120kW needs N47 D20 C. The E60 520d takes this sensor only from the 2007 N47 changeover - earlier E60 and E90 cars still on the M47 D20 use a different crankshaft sensor entirely. Match the number stamped on your old sensor to 13627805188 before ordering.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The crankshaft position sensor reads a toothed reluctor ring on the crankshaft and reports position and speed to the DDE. On the 320d it is the primary timing reference - lose it and the engine management will not commit to an injection event.

On E90 and F30 320d the failure is usually gradual. Owners report an intermittent crank-no-start that clears if you wait twenty minutes, long before it fails outright. Because the N47 has a well-known timing chain reputation, a weak crank signal on these cars is frequently misdiagnosed as chain stretch - the sensor is worth ruling out first. On high-kilometre F10 520d fleet cars the same fault more often shows as a hard hot restart after refuelling.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Cranks strongly but will not fire, worse when the engine is hot
Intermittent cut-out at low speed that clears after a restart
Limp mode with reduced power once up to temperature
Fault codes P0335 P0336 or a DDE crankshaft plausibility error
Tachometer needle flicking or dropping to zero while driving
Misdiagnosed as timing chain stretch on N47 cars

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.
