Detailed Product Description

Standard Ignition PC843 is a crankshaft position sensor used to report crankshaft position and engine speed data to the control system. Accurate signal input is critical for ignition timing, fuel delivery, and engine synchronization. This part is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, including Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Passat, Beetle, Caddy, Crafter Van, Amarok, Polo, Saveiro, and Audi A3.

Fitment includes 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2009-2014 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat, 2013-2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2010-2013 Audi A3, 2015-2023 Volkswagen Saveiro, 2019-2022 Volkswagen Polo, and 2018-2022 Volkswagen Vento. The PC843 part number is also used across multiple model years in Volkswagen applications where the specified 3-terminal sensor configuration is required.

Common Issues This Sensor May Address

• Engine no-start condition caused by missing crankshaft position signal
• Intermittent stalling related to crank signal loss
• Rough running from inaccurate engine speed input
• Check engine light triggered by crankshaft position sensor faults
• Hard starting after heat soak or sensor signal degradation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and OE reference before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector with 3 male blade terminals and does not include a wire lead or mounting bracket. Confirm the vehicle’s exact engine and sensor configuration, especially on applications noted as Siemens type or 3-terminal manifold absolute pressure sensor in the fitment data, before ordering PC843.
