What This Sensor Helps Address

• Camshaft position signal faults stored by the engine control unit
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions tied to cam timing input
• Rough idle or inconsistent engine operation from inaccurate sensor data
• Check engine light concerns related to camshaft sensor performance
• Intermittent drivability issues on BMW exhaust-side sensor applications

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, 3-pin configuration, and mounting bore location before installation. This sensor uses a Hall-effect design and is supplied without cable, so the existing harness connection must match the D-shape plug and 12V electrical requirements. Confirm the engine side and position listed for your BMW application, especially on models that use exhaust-side camshaft sensor placement.

Quality Assurance

Vemo V20-72-9001 is built as an OE-style replacement sensor for BMW camshaft position applications. The compact housing, connector layout, and electrical specification are matched to the listed vehicles for straightforward replacement on the correct engine position.
