Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, 3-pin layout, cable length, and OE reference before installation. For fitment, use the listed vehicle notes: Fits 1997 Audi A4, N/A; Fits 1998 Audi A4, N/A; Fits 1998 Audi A4 Quattro, N/A. Confirm chassis/VIN breakpoints shown in the fitment notes, including 8D-W-007 799 for the 1998 Audi A4 and 8D-W-004 581 for the 1998 Audi A4 Quattro.

Inspect the harness routing and connector condition before replacing the sensor. The sensor mounts in the crankshaft signal location specified by the vehicle application, so matching the OE number and physical dimensions is important for proper installation.
