Crankshaft Position Sensor problem. I have an

Crankshaft Position Sensor problem. I have an AUDI A3 1.6SE (2004) and the engine light comes on intermittently due to a fault with the Crankshaft Position Sensor, I'm told this needs to be replaced but find this hard to believe if the sensor is an electronic device and the engine light appears intermittently, to me it sounds like it is loose or just needs a clean... what is your opinion?

Thanks!!

Crankshaft position sensor

The sensor would need to be tested with a meter. If it is faulty, the engine and - or transmission has to be removed to replace it.
You should be able to find the wiring harness as it goes into the transmission housing near the block.

Hello Paul, You stated your crossfire stalls and the usually restarts. It could be several things that cause this... If the check engine light is on, have it scanned to determine what caused it to come on - It sounds like you are having an intermittent crankshaft position sensor failure. I hope this information is helpful...Happy Holidays.
