Detailed Description
This Hella camshaft position sensor helps the engine control system track camshaft position so the ECU can manage injection timing and engine synchronization. It is specified with 3 connectors, a 330 mm wiring harness length, and a single mounting bore, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that use OE number 03L 957 147. Fitment includes 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2009-2014 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat, 2013-2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2010-2013 Audi A3. This part cross-references Delphi SS11217 and Dorman - HELP 79331 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Camshaft position signal faults
- Hard starting related to timing input loss
- Intermittent stalling from incorrect cam signal data
- Check engine lights tied to cam sensor performance
- Rough running caused by synchronization issues
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector count, cable length, and OE number 03L 957 147 before installation. Confirm the sensor mounting location and inspect the harness routing so the 330 mm lead is not stretched, pinched, or routed near heat sources. Match the sensor to the vehicle’s common rail configuration and compare the existing connector style to the replacement part before final fitment.
