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.

Will points be deducted for crossing the line at a traffic light?

Normally, crossing the solid white line at a traffic light intersection, if caught by electronic police or traffic police on the spot, will result in a penalty of 3 points deducted and a fine of 200 yuan. However, under special circumstances, lane changing by crossing the line is allowed if it does not affect the driving of other vehicles. Evidence (such as dashcam footage) should be preserved to potentially cancel the penalty through administrative reconsideration in the future. Tips on illegal lane changing: 1. Points deduction: Illegal lane changing on regular roads results in a 3-point deduction per violation, while on highways, it results in a 12-point deduction per violation. 2. Liability: If an accident is caused by illegal lane changing, the violator usually bears full or primary responsibility, as determined by the accident liability assessment report.
