Hi all. Can someone perhaps help this old lady? Nothing on youtube shows this specific engine and I can't make heads or tails out of line art drawings with a gazillion parts. I have all Mercedes tools and have replaced a few parts myself, but I first need to know WHERE it is. I get a P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/ Performance Bank 1 or Single Sensor error code. My battery tests fine.

I even found the Bosch part at AutoZone ... I just need to know where the sucker is located. Can you draw me a picture?? Please?? I included a picture of my engine without splash cover (which the local Euro shop lost but isn't fessing up to it.)

Thank you in advance for any pointers / advice you can give me.

I dont have that car or engine but i searched around. i think its on the passenger side of the engine behind the oil fill.

Glad I got a 651 vs 642, that looks like a engineer puked in the engine bay. Originally I thought the 651 was bad.
