Removing the crank position sensor can be a pain because there's not much room to get at the screw holding it in place. Here's some instructions for getting it out.
Allow the engine to cool to avoid burns.
Remove the heat shield (13 mm socket on long extension)
Disconnect the air inlet pipe from the throttle body (7mm socket), and from the side of the engine (13 mm wrench)
Disconnect the bypass pipe from the turbo (10 mm socket on long extension) and turbo bypass valve (spring clip) and remove (donât lose the O-ring).
Move the inlet pipe to the side.
Jack up the right side of the car and place a jack stand to support it.
From below use a 1/4" or 3/8" drive T27 torx bit on a long-handled ratchet to loosen the machine screw holding the crank position sensor and itâs heat shield in place. The ratchet needs to have a long (~12") handle so that you can both turn the screw and see what youâre doing. Once the screw is loose, it can be removed by hand by turning it with just the torx bit. Once the screw is out, pull the sensor out, being sure that the O-ring comes too.
The CPS wire runs to the left rear corner of the engine and is held in place about half-way there by a metal clip that slides over one of the bits of plumbing. Use a mirror and flashlight to see where the clip is located. To get at the clip, push the various hoses to the side and squeeze your hand into the space adjacent to the left end of the engine. You can slide the clip off with your fingers.
The plug end of the CPS mounts on a metal bracket on the left rear corner of the engine. The mating plug from the wiring harness connects from the top and has a sliding plastic locking mechanism. Undo this plug by pushing the red locking slider to the right side of the car, being careful to avoid breaking the locking mechanism. Remove the plug end of the CPS from the metal bracket by pressing in on the tabs on both sides with a screwdriver. You may need to break the tabs on the side of the plug end of the CPS to pull it up through the metal mounting bracket to be able to work the mating plug from the wiring harness loose. Since youâre throwing the old CPS away, damaging its plug end is not a problem.
Install the new CPS in the reverse order of removal.
