On the side of the engine block. The crankshaft sensor on the Volkswagen Passat is located on the left side of the engine block, where the engine and transmission meet. When the vehicle experiences symptoms such as lack of power, failure to start, or no idle, it is usually caused by a faulty crankshaft position sensor. Here is some information about automotive sensors: 1. Crankshaft position sensor: It detects the crankshaft and engine speed, providing the ECU with a reference signal to determine ignition timing and firing order. 2. The two bolts that secure the crankshaft position sensor to the transmission are specially designed to ensure the correct gap between the sensor and the flywheel. Other bolts should not be used as substitutes for these specially designed bolts.
