Detailed Description

HELLA 009163041 is an engine camshaft position sensor engineered to report camshaft position so the engine control system can manage ignition and fuel injection timing accurately. It is calibrated with advanced diagnostic tools and built to meet OE specifications, making it a practical replacement for BMW camshaft position sensor service on 1993-1995 BMW 325i, 1993-1995 BMW 325is, 1993-1995 BMW 525i, and 1995 BMW M3 models with the listed 12V, 3-pin connector configuration. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 0 232 103 003) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by incorrect camshaft position signal input
• Rough idle from inconsistent ignition and injection timing data
• Check engine light conditions related to camshaft sensor faults
• Misfire or hesitation tied to poor camshaft signal quality
• Stalling or drivability issues from intermittent sensor output

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, pin count, and harness length before installation. This sensor uses a 1-bolt mounting pattern and does not include a gasket, seal, mounting hardware, or mounting bracket. Assy/disassy by qualified personnel required. Confirm the vehicle application matches the listed BMW fitment and 12V, 3-pin connector specification before replacement.

Quality Assurance

HELLA builds this camshaft position sensor to OE fit, form, and function standards and uses corrosion-resistant terminals and coatings for added durability. The sensor is calibrated with advanced diagnostic tools to support consistent signal output in service applications.
