Spectra S10417 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Spectra S10417 Camshaft Position Sensor

The Spectra S10417 engine camshaft position sensor helps the engine control system track camshaft position for accurate ignition timing and injector synchronization. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen applications, including Volkswagen Passat, Touareg, Atlas, and Atlas Cross Sport coverage.

Key Features

• Camshaft position sensor for ignition and fuel-injection timing control
• Supports cylinder-firing sequence synchronization based on camshaft position data
• OE-style replacement for select Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen vehicles
• Cross-references Standard Ignition PC700 and URO 030907601E
• Part number: S10417

Detailed Description

Built for engine management systems that rely on precise camshaft signal input, the Spectra S10417 helps the ECU determine which cylinder is firing so ignition timing and injector operation stay in sequence. This sensor is used across a broad range of applications, including 2018-2023 Volkswagen Atlas, 2021-2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat, and 2007-2017 Volkswagen Touareg, along with select Audi A8 Quattro, Q7, A3 Quattro, and TT Quattro models. The S10417 also serves Porsche Cayenne applications from 2008-2018.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC700 and URO 030907601E for the same application. Search terms such as Volkswagen Passat camshaft position sensor, Audi Q7 cam sensor replacement, and Porsche Cayenne engine position sensor all align with this fitment coverage. Part number S10417 is also commonly referenced in OE-style replacement searches for Volkswagen Atlas and Touareg engine management repairs.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Help Address

• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Hard starting caused by incorrect camshaft timing input
• Rough idle from inconsistent ignition timing data
• Misfire conditions tied to synchronization errors
• Poor injector sequencing from a failed camshaft signal

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and engine application before installation. Compare the connector style and sensor location on the original part to confirm proper replacement. For best results, inspect related wiring and connectors during service, especially on Volkswagen Passat, Touareg, and Atlas applications where heat and vibration can affect sensor circuits.

Spectra manufactures engine management components for replacement use in covered applications. The S10417 is identified for direct application matching across the listed Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen fitments.
