Thanks for the video! I found a bunch of videos going in from the bottom. worked for hours and couldn't even get on it. finally found yours and had it r&r'ed in an hour! thanks again!!
I'd like to add a few things that may help. I removed the throttle body so I could at least see the sensor. 4 bolts and 2 connections - easy stuff to do and a good opportunity to clean your throttle body. Torque throttle body back to 8Nm during re-assembly. The crankshaft sensor uses an E8 socket and they're cheap enough to buy if you don't already have one. I purchased OEM VDO sensor since this such a labor intensive job and you don't want to do it twice. I was able to remove the sensor with only loosening the bracket that shares the starter bolt however I was not able to get the new sensor in without removing it. Use a E10 socket and remove it. The biggest help that I can offer is this: once you have the sensor out, buy a M6 X 1.0 (pitch) X 60mm (length) stud (threaded rod) - got mine at Ace Hardware and screw that in the mounting hole which will guide the install of the sensor itself. Once the sensor is installed the rubber O ring will hold it in place- then remove the stud and replace with the original bolt. I dropped the bolt 3 times trying to fit the bolt because you can't actually see the mounting point. That added a whole lot of extra time and additional frustration retrieving it. Using the stud technique fixed that problem. Finally, take the necessary time using wire, zip ties and/or bungee cord to move the other wrapped wired/hoses out of the way so that you can see what you're doing.
I wish I saw this before I replaced my crankshaft position sensor. I bought it from a parts distributor and it wasn’t OE VDO or OEM. after I replaced my starter and got a new key and cas and dme synced it still wouldn’t start and gave code p1727(CPS). I thought surely it couldn’t be my CPS as I just changed it. After a couple more days I tried to started a couple more times, and it try to fire, but never actually started. Though, this it gave me a new code p138f (also CPS) so I reach and take it out and compare it to a genuine part online and they look completely different. It fit but was not up to BMW spec apparently. Hope this helps anyone who might see.
Hey I replaced the crank position sensor on my 2010 535 IX and it is still has the problem with the car the check engine light is still on and it goes into neutral while I am driving.
Robert Mwaniki Sorry to hear that are you sure that was the code that was coming up when you scanned it ? If you have a scan tool try to erase the code and see if that helps
Quick question. Did you get code p0335? I started my car yesterday and got code p0035 camshaft crank sensor A circuit. I saw another video where it says code p0335 is the crankshaft sensors that are on the top front of the engine. The Intake and exhaust crankshaft position sensors.
Hi Chris Welch it calls for an E 12 inverted socket but you can use a 3/8 12 point socket. Hope that helps you and thank you for watching I appreciate you
Hey anyone replacing the crank position sensor needs to make sure that it is a genuine BMW part orOEM . I had to spend another $180 because my car did very poorly on the part I bought from a Europeans auto parts store .
Hey what were the symptoms of a defective crank shaft sensor? From time to time i cant start my car, it gives me transmission fault e60 and i need to wait an hour or so, so i can start it again ...
Hi Илко Георгиев on my BMW it was popping into neutral and when i scanned it it was popping a crank shaft sensor code p0335 thanks for watching i appreciate you
Hey Marty. Is the Crankshaft position sensor more or less in the same area as the 2011 535i F10 N55 engine? I know u are familiar with that car as well.
I’m replacing my starter so since I’m there already might as well replace the crankshaft position sensor. The car is running fine but I’m going to bootmod3 the car and tune stage 2. Question since I’m changing out the crankshaft position sensor do u think I might as well change the camshaft position sensors?? They are in the front of the engine and easy to get to. What do u think?? Should I leave them alone?
David Aguirre I would replace them if they are in the budget. If not your ok they are easy to get to if you need to do it later . Your going to have that ride running sweet good job 👍
Hi Israel Chavez sorry I don’t know the location on a v-8 but look under the starter. They are hard to find you need to look real good move wire around . Hope that helps .thanks for watching I appreciate you
Hi @@icebergslim8658 you’ll have to scan it. That’s what I did and it popped up the code. PO335 plus my car was popping into neutral. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate you.
Hi Josue Barrios it will be a little different I’ve done one on a 2011 535i it looks different thanks for watching. I appreciate you…….www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwirxvfu5M38AhWgFdQBHahpB2AYABAnGgJvYQ&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAASJeRop8SLP6a5E6F1_Ys43vcq1dwVPTEZym4ap08t0MvYPspXNd8&sig=AOD64_3Nmohw6bo5KLWEMUiSb1NC2chlvQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjrzu7u5M38AhUTnGoFHXM6CcMQwg8oAHoECAQQZQ&adurl=
When mine went bad, it did the following: 1. Transmission code 2. Car went into limp mode 3. Stumbled a lot and would not change gears Sometimes you could restart the car and drive for a few miles, but then after that it would go back into limp mode and drive slower than a golf cart. After doing some research, turns out the transmission also uses this particular crankshaft position sensor to calculate the spin shaft speed for the transmission, so you will get a sister transmission code error. We replaced the crankshaft position sensor by putting the car on a lift and felt around for the sensor plug, then used an e10 or an e12 socket to remove the one bolt that holds it. We installed the new sensor and tightened the bolt to around 14 Foot Pounds "19NM" ******* Equation to convert Newtons to Foot Pound is: 1 Foot Pound X 1.354 = 1.354 Newton Meters After replacement, we deleted all codes and drove for 200 miles. The cripple mode stopped and the transmission sister codes vanished. I hope this gives you more insite. I experienced this and I am a real person who ran into this nightmare and I hope this helps you. The part was about $45 bucks online, part being crankshaft position sensor and a local mechanic I guided on how to install it charged me $75 bucks. $125 in grand total to stop that nightmare.
Without this video, I probably would’ve wasted so much money paying the mechanic. Thank you so much!

Does the sensor need to be recalibrated after installed?
Hi Average Joe no just reset the check engine light if it’s on . Thank you for watching I appreciate you
@@Marty09933 I just replaced mine and this video was so much help. Thank you so much and keep it up.

Chances are that was meant to get through to from underneath either on a lift or jacking the car
Hey bro? Was your car going on a limp mode when your crankshaft sensor went bad?
N54 E92 I can really remember I don’t think so but when I came to a stop it would pop into neutral sometimes
When mine went bad, it did the following:
1. Transmission code
2. Car went into limp mode
3. Stumbled a lot and would not change gears
Sometimes you could restart the car and drive for a few miles, but then after that it would go back into limp mode and drive slower than a golf cart. After doing some research, turns out the transmission also uses this particular crankshaft position sensor to calculate the spin shaft speed for the transmission, so you will get a sister transmission code error.

@@AliA-mz5oe did you fix it ? I just bought the crank shaft sensor for $150 from bmw hopefully that fixes my issue
What size is your spare . Ive been looking for 1 for ages . Cheers.
Hi Jamiestanley sorry brother I don’t even know never have used it it can with the car thanks for watching a really appreciate you
@@Marty09933 can you have a look please.
@@jamiestanley8774 that’s not my car anymore but I’ll try to get a hold of the owner and look. I might be buying that car back ??!
Sorry didnt realize its sold . I'll get it sorted.
Thanks for letting me know . Cheers
@@jamiestanley8774 no worries I’ll try to find out for you this weekend
Did the o ring go fully in ? Just changed mine and it sticks a bit out, doesnt want to go fully in
SuNSe7 hello yes it went right in like it’s in 9:20 on the video if your having trouble try the old o ring and see how that one goes in
@@Marty09933 When i removed the intake i found the sensor loose, oring was missing and the bolt broken, it was changed before i bought the car.
SuNSe7 wow that’s why it probably ran bad hope you got it fixed
@@Marty09933 Yeah i am going to take the intake off again to re-fit it :D
SuNSe7 you working on 08 bmw 535i ? I didn’t have to take the intake off on mine . I hate messing with the intake all those bolts lol 😝
You failed to start the car and verify that it resolved the problem?
you're supposed to order an O-ring when you order the sensor!
