This part cross-references BMW/Mini OE numbers 7 538 001 and 7 561 753 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Crankshaft position sensor fault codes
• Intermittent no-start or hard-start conditions
• Rough running caused by inconsistent crank signal input
• Engine stalling related to crankshaft signal loss
• Check engine light triggered by crank sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, sensor dimensions, and engine application before installation. For fitment, use the vehicle-specific listings: Fits 2007-2015 Mini Cooper, N/A; Fits 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, N/A; Fits 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, N/A. Confirm the crankshaft sensor location and inspect the harness and connector for corrosion or damage before installing the replacement sensor.

Quality Assurance

VEMO part V20-72-0516-1 is built as an OE-style replacement sensor for the listed Mini applications and is identified by the manufacturer’s application-specific specifications, including Hall sensor construction and 12V electrical rating.
