Product Details

The crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft rotation so the engine control system can calculate ignition timing and engine speed. On turbocharged and direct-injection Audi and Volkswagen platforms, a stable crank signal is critical for consistent starting, smooth idle, and accurate engine synchronization. The Vemo V10-72-1320 is engineered around the listed connector and electrical specifications to match the original sensor format used across multiple 2011-2017 Audi and 2015-2017 Volkswagen applications. This part cross-references Bosch 17156 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Help Address

• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Intermittent stalling or sudden engine shutdown
• Rough idle caused by an unstable crank signal
• Check engine light related to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Misfire or synchronization issues tied to incorrect engine speed input

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, pole count, and sensor dimensions before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the listed 3-pin configuration and compare the original part number against Vemo V10-72-1320 for proper application matching. Inspect the connector terminals and wiring harness for corrosion, oil intrusion, or damaged locking tabs before fitting the new sensor. Clear fault codes after installation and confirm the engine starts and idles normally.
