BMW Repair: camshaft positioning sensor, cam sensor, camshaft positioning sensor
QuestionI need info regarding camshaft positioning sensor for a 2000 323i. The light stays on and I'm told it is due to the camshaft positioning sensor which may or may not be malfunctioning.
I would like info including:
1) Symptoms
2) Easy of replacement - DIY?
3) Best place to purchase part
4) Other important info
The engine just started missing; could this be a symptom?
Thanks
AnswerI really need the exact code(s) to be sure but the cam sensor(s) are a common failure.
Get them fron the dealer.With a Bentley manual you should be able to DIY. No special tools.
If your engine uses both an intake and exhaust cam sensor replace them both.
