Where is the crank pos sensor located on 1998 beetle 2.0 4cyl

Crankshaft Position Sensor. It's located just under the oil sender on the bottom front of the engine. Crankshaft position/speed sensor is an induction coil that goes into a hole in the side of the block and monitors a notch or bump on the crank for crankshaft position. It is held in by one small bolt....unfortunately, you have to pull the front motor mount bracket so you need to pull starter motor mount etc. to get it out of the block. Not a 5min job, but doable for anyone who knows his/her way around a basic tool box. Need to support engine while the front mount is off.-------------- Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation.
