Can someone please take a picture of their 2002 C240 crankshaft position sensor and post it on here? I have searched all over the engine, looked at every possible thread on this website, googled it to death...and still can't locate this sucker. If I'm standing in front of the car looking at the block it should be at the upper right corner (i.e. driver side)? Now the car won't even start so I can't take it anywhere.

 

Haha, that's funny. OK, where do you think it should be? Here's a picture the very one that's in your car (and just about any MB). So where it is, is by the flywheel and on the drivers side near the top of the engine. I have better pics but you'll have to search the other MB forum in the r170 section (it's the same on all MB's)

 

Thanks, but I don't need a picture of the part?!? And I know the vicinity of where it should be, in my stupid car's case it's crammed back there and you can't even find the flywheel and can hardly see the transmission. I'm about ready to hand it over to a mechanic cuz I don't think it's humanly possible to reach in there to get to it.

 

Taking a pic there is fruitless, it comes out black and very difficult to show what's what, trust me it's there, look for it. It's on the engine block right in front of the tranny bell housing.
