Detailed Description

Standard Ignition S2879 is an electrical connector for crankshaft position sensor service, built with two female blade terminals and 20-gauge wire for a clean sensor-side repair. The 320 mm harness length provides routing flexibility, while the sealed housing helps maintain a stable connection in underhood environments. This connector is listed across many fitments, including Audi A3, Audi A6, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Passat, Mercedes-Benz E320, and BMW 328i xDrive applications.

This part cross-references CONA364 and EC2779 for the same application. If you are replacing a damaged crankshaft sensor plug on a Mercedes-Benz C300 rear right application or a Volkswagen Tiguan engine harness repair, S2879 gives you a serviceable connector option that matches the listed electrical configuration.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken or cracked crankshaft position sensor connector housings
• Corroded or heat-damaged sensor terminals
• Intermittent crankshaft signal loss from poor electrical contact
• Harness-side connector damage during engine repair
• Sensor connection issues on high-mileage Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and wire gauge before installation. Match the vehicle’s original crankshaft position sensor connector location and confirm the listed fitment notes, including rear right or rear applications where shown. Inspect the mating sensor pins for wear or contamination before connecting the new plug. Because fitment varies by model and engine configuration, confirm the application against the vehicle service information before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures electrical service parts for professional repair use, and S2879 is built to support a secure sealed connection at the crankshaft position sensor. The connector’s weatherproof sealed design and OE-style terminal layout help maintain consistent electrical contact in demanding engine bay conditions.
