does that mean it won't work?
next, if I search for the Beru part on their website, they don't call it a crankshaft position sensor, they call it a "RPM Sensor, engine management" - is this the wrong thing then?
and, lastly, http://tinyurl.com/yfomyrh shows the Beru as a crankshaft sensor, but it also makes reference to a "Rear Crankshaft Sensor"... so is it possible that I am buying the wrong one with Beru? (is the rear crankshaft sensor thus the one that Richard referred me to?) |
Re: the engine serial number, it means that that is not the part intended for your car; there must be a companion part intended for motors from 017118 on that you should get instead.
Richard can respond to your other question about what he meant. There is various terminology in usage, sometimes even by MBz itself in the service manual and parts catalog, where the same item is referred to by various designations. But it may clarify the issue somewhat for you to know that, at least in my car (6 cyl), the crankshaft position sensor (for ignition and fuel management) is mounted at the rear of the engine, down on the bellhousing, while the camshaft position sensor (for engine rpm) is mounted at the front of the engine.
