Audi 1.8t crankshaft position sensor is located at the lower left side of the cylinder block. Structural types of crankshaft position sensors: There are three types: magnetic induction, photoelectric, and Hall effect. Function of the crankshaft position sensor: The crankshaft position sensor is used to detect the top dead center signal of the piston and the crankshaft angle signal, and it is also the signal source for measuring engine speed. Simply put, it detects the crankshaft speed and angle to determine the position of the crankshaft. The detected results are then transmitted to the engine computer or other control units. It works in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing. The engine computer uses the signals from this sensor to control the engine's ignition and fuel injection, including the timing of ignition and injection, as well as the amount of fuel injected.
