Purchase Crankshaft Position Sensor Online?

[ashutt]

There appear to be 4 parts that when they go bad on a W208 can cause the car to idle rough or hunt up and down, stall, and eventually die. You most likely will experience a check engine light (CEL). Based on others comments and posts, I have narrowed the possible problems to the following items, though there are certainly others: (2) Air Mass Sensor It is possible that the AMS is dirty or bad. You can clean the Air Mass Sensor (Aka Mass Air Flow Meter or MAF) and see if that makes a difference. If it needs to be replaced I can get it from $191.00 at Importecparts.com as well. Install takes about 10 minutes. Do not pay the dealer for the part or to replace this item if you don't have to. (1) Crankshaft Position Sensor You may find it hard if not impossible to locate a "Crankshaft Position Sensor" online because it is refered to as a "Reference Sensor". The dealer wants for $125.80.00 or so for this part. I found a site http://www.importeccatalog.com/) that has it for $91.00. (3) O2 Sensors These are fairly easy to replace as well. The dealer wants around $225.00 for these parts. You can get them from Importecparts.com for around the prices below: Oxygen Sensor: Left Front Located before catalyst Cost: $155.20 Oxygen Sensor: Right Front Located before catalyst Cost: $155.00 Oxygen Sensor: Left Rear Located after catalyst Cost: $143.90 Oxygen Sensor: Right Rear Located after catalyst Cost: $115.70 (4) Fuel Filter It appears that you can replace this in about 20 minutes and the part is $32.30 from Importecparts.com.
