Where is the crankshaft position sensor located and how does it function on 2005 Volkswagen Passat?

The crankshaft position sensor, which is near the engine oil drain plug, detects gaps in the sensor ring for the top dead center of each cylinder, generating a 120 degree signal. It is very important for ignition timing and fuel synchronization. Replacement means take out the connector, remove the bolt and reinsert after oiling the o-ring.
