What steps should be taken if the battery is disconnected and How to access the Camshaft Position Sensor on Volkswagen Jetta?

Two CMP sensors are fitted on 1.4L engines and Golf 2.0L turbocharged engines (CXCA, CXCB, DKFA), and the battery will require re-learning of several systems to make them work correctly. To begin with, remove the cable of the negative battery terminal. CMP sensor is either at the rear end of cylinder head cover on 1.4L engines, beneath the camshaft sprocker on 2.0L non-turbocharged engines, on the front side of cylinder head cover just below the oil filler cap on 1.8L and 2.0L turbocharged engines, or on the camshaft guide frame on 2.5L five-cylinder engines, where the 2.0L turbocharged engines CXCA, CXCB, DKFA sensor 2 is mounted In the case of 2.0L non-turbocharged engines, take out the timing belt cover. In 1.8L and 2.0L turbocharged (and Golf CXCA, CXCB, DKFA, sensor 1), the sensor is located behind the intake manifold and can be accessed by removing it. Disconnect CMP sensor electrical connector, remove CMP sensor mounting fastener then CMP sensor on all engines. The opposite of removal is installation.

Volkswagen Jetta Camshaft Position Sensor

The Volkswagen Jetta Camshaft Position Sensor is the watchdog of the engine, which relays real-time data regarding the camshaft to the electronic brain to ensure combustion occurs at the highly appropriate time. The sensor allows the engine control module to pulse the fuel injectors and start the spark at the right moment each cylinder requires, keeping the power smooth and the emissions at a minimum by monitoring the position and rotational speed of the camshaft. The current Volkswagen engines rely on this feedback mechanism to have a smooth idling mode and a quick start. The majority of the units are mounted slightly above the camshaft, although some engines may mount the device behind the cylinder head, and a few can be mounted close to the block; thus, the placement of the device may vary depending on the model year. In each location the target remains constant to equalize the movement of the valves with the motion of the piston. The Camshaft Position Sensor constantly communicates with the crank sensor, which in turn adjusts the four-stroke cycle during startup and alters variable valve timing as the revs increase, a collaboration that also provides the dashboard with correct RPM values. Over the years Volkswagen has depended upon two convenient packages, either a stand-alone Camshaft Position Sensor or an integrated timing plan in which the sensor is functionally matched with the crank unit, the distinction being whether each component is operated independently or in cooperation with another in a common package. Regardless of what configuration exists, a damaged sensor may cause misfiring, poor acceleration or even the inability to start the engine altogether; thus, keeping the Jetta well maintained is a good way to ensure reliable Volkswagen service and performance as well as economy.

Choose OEM Camshaft Position Sensor for superior quality and long-lasting durability. They match the Volkswagen's factory specifications exactly and pass strict quality control. If you plan to replace Camshaft Position Sensor on your Jetta, put OEM at the top of your list. You'll get the right fit, reliable performance, and peace of mind.
