Detailed Description

URO manufactures replacement parts for European vehicles to meet or exceed OEM specifications, and this crankshaft position sensor follows that approach with the correct connector style, wire count, and mounting provisions. The part number 071957147 is a practical OE-style replacement for engines that rely on precise crankshaft position data for ignition and engine management. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC509 and Beck/Arnley 180-0493 for the same application.

For Audi A4 and Volkswagen Passat service work, the sensor’s included bracket and single mounting hole help simplify replacement when the original sensor has failed or the connector has deteriorated. The URO 071957147 is suited to repairs where accurate signal pickup and proper fitment are required without adapting the harness or connector shape.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine no-start conditions caused by a failed crankshaft position sensor
• Intermittent stalling or rough running from inconsistent crank signal input
• Check engine light concerns related to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Hard starting after heat soak or extended driving
• Electrical connection issues from a damaged sensor connector or harness interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, wire count, and mounting style before installation. Inspect the mating harness, bracket location, and sensor mounting surface for corrosion or damage, and confirm the replacement sensor seats fully before reconnecting the electrical connector. Use the vehicle service procedure for final installation and fault-code clearing.
