R230 CDI
R230 CDI crankshaft sensor.

So it seems like my beloved Cedes had its Crankshaft Position Sensor go out. It died in the middle of the road yesterday and I haven't been able to get it to turn over sinse.
I'm very much a DIYer and would love to save the 5 or 600 dollars to fix the issue. I'm very mechanically inclined but I have no idea where this sensor is on my diesel engine. If I did I could easily do this myself and save the money. Can anyone help? Picture would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mikey M.

First only purchase a genuine MB sensor----you will find the sensor on top of the bell housing-----get off the couch and with a flash light locate the sensor!
