Vemo V10-72-1209 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

OE Camshaft Position Sensor for Audi, VW, and Porsche

The VEMO V10-72-1209 engine camshaft position sensor is an OE-style Hall sensor built for precise camshaft signal monitoring in a wide range of Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications. With a 3-pin oval connector, 12V rating, and compact black housing, it is specified for direct replacement use on many 2007-2017 models.

VEMO VEMO focuses on OE replacement electronics and sensors, and this camshaft position sensor follows that approach with application-specific fitment and connector design. The V10-72-1209 is a practical choice when servicing drivability and timing-related sensor faults on vehicles such as the Audi A4, Audi Q5, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Porsche Cayenne.

Detailed Description

The VEMO V10-72-1209 camshaft position sensor monitors camshaft position data used by the engine control system for ignition timing and fuel management. As a Hall sensor, it provides the signal output expected in many OE applications, making it suitable for vehicles that require accurate camshaft synchronization. This part number, V10-72-1209, cross-references Standard Ignition PC781 for the same application.

Compatible vehicle coverage includes Fits 2009-2016 Audi A4, N/A; Fits 2011-2017 Audi Q5, N/A; Fits 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, N/A; and Fits 2011-2017 Porsche Cayenne, N/A. Additional coverage extends across Audi A6 Quattro, A8 Quattro, S4, S5, Q7, TT Quattro, and Volkswagen CC, Eos, Touareg, GTI, Jetta, Passat, and Beetle applications. If you are replacing a failing camshaft position sensor on an Audi A5, Audi Q5, or Volkswagen Tiguan, V10-72-1209 is built to match the OE-style connector and sensor format used in those platforms.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring camshaft position signal accuracy after sensor failure
• Addressing hard-start or extended-crank conditions tied to cam signal loss
• Correcting engine warning lights related to camshaft sensor faults
• Resolving rough idle or intermittent drivability issues caused by timing signal errors
• Replacing worn OE sensors on Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, pole count, and sensor depth before installation. This sensor uses an oval 3-pin connector and is supplied without cable, so inspect the vehicle harness and terminal condition before fitting. Confirm exact engine application by VIN, engine code, and OE reference before ordering, especially on Audi A4, Audi Q5, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Porsche Cayenne models with multiple engine configurations.

Quality Assurance

VEMO VEMO OE-style sensors are built to match application-specific electrical and connector requirements for European vehicles. The V10-72-1209 is packaged for protection during handling and storage and is specified for direct replacement use in confirmed fitments.
