Detailed Description

Febi 23799 is a camshaft position sensor used to monitor camshaft timing information for the engine control unit. On BMW models such as the 325i, 330i, X5, and Z4, accurate camshaft signal input is essential for proper engine synchronization, fuel delivery, and ignition timing control. The febi product line is known for OE-style replacement components, and this sensor follows the specified connector, length, and sealing details for the listed applications.

Use Febi 23799 when servicing BMW camshaft sensor faults on the exhaust side or inlet side, depending on the vehicle application shown in the fitment data. The part number 23799 is also a useful reference when matching the sensor to OE cross-reference numbers during diagnosis or parts lookup.

What It Helps Address

• Camshaft position sensor fault codes
• Rough idle caused by incorrect cam timing signal input
• Hard starting related to camshaft signal loss
• Engine misfire or hesitation tied to timing sensor errors
• Check engine light concerns linked to camshaft sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the sensor location before ordering, since the fitment data includes exhaust-side and inlet-side applications. Match the 3-pin connector, sensor length, and sealing profile to the original part before installation. Inspect the connector, wiring, and mounting area for damage or contamination so the replacement sensor can seat and communicate correctly with the engine control system.
