Mercedes E320 W210 crankshaft position sensor replacement

Replaced crank sensor for an intermittent P0335 code on a 2001 Mercedes-Benz E320

[@bismarckgarcia2616]

Thank you very much for your info. I wish would have seen it earlier. The fact that no light on the dash or no code on the scanner makes it horrible to diagnose the problem. I have been dealing with this problem on my daughters 2000 MB E320 for weeks. Changed fuel pump, filter and relay. worked fine for 2 days and 3rd stopped in the middle of the road.

[@roybraswell2841]

My Mercedes E320 would crank over but wouldn't start. We replaced the fuel pump still wouldn't crank. Me and my Grandson watched this video we replaced the crank shaft sensor and it started up. It wasn't showing up no codes that is why we changed the fuel pump 54.00 sensor and a fuel filter and it STARTED up and the car is still running fine. Thank you for your help Roy Braswell Eastman Georgia

Great video. I didn’t have an inverted Torx at home, a 1/4” 6 point did the job!

[@gbush1620]

Thanks, I hava W210 too and engine won't start with crank sound and check engine light. I start diagnosis by checking fuel cap then replacing all spark plugs. The engine looks normal and engine light gone. Today, I start running the vehicle and run for sometime, stop for a few minutes, then restart the engine. It comes again, crank .... can start the engine, but check engine light. I check the battery by Foxwell tester which ask me for replacing battery, CCA 290/900 only. I do this next week, if fail again, I ponder replacing this crank sensor.

Thanks so much, as a widow & no males around, my daughter is going to try to help me to replace it. Wish us luck, your instructions seem easy to follow.

Replace both ("CAM and CRANK") !!! RUNS AND STARTS GREAT NO SHAKEING ENGINE , BACK FIRING , NO STALLING ! NO STRUGGLES STARTING OFF RUNNING LIKE NEW QUITE !!!

Great Video - Can't get the E8 to stay on the screw - Looks like someone tried taking it out and Stripped The Screw !

[@ramsanvarghese7567]

What a great video, thanks for making it!

[@jaimecueva121]

Thank you Mike for the video. Does my 1998 E320 have the same crankshaft position sensor? In the same drivers side?

[@hectorboyar4321]

take a peek.

Thank you very much for this video. Very helpful and highly appreciated.

great video my Good man,very helpful!!!!

[@patioche]

Thank you so much for this video. my E320 stalled while driving last weekend.... was not started ... then waited ... then started again .... code P0335. Now I know where it is. Suscribed.

[@hectorboyar4321]

That's because the crankshaft sensor is starting to fail. Once it warms up it'll shut off the car.

[@SapphyAlexander]

Help Plz😢😢😢

[@FifiRX]

it was very helpful, thanks :)

[@abdunuri836]

my car had a rough idle and turn off by itself i changed the fule pump it was raelly dirty i cleaned the injectors after that i run it , and a poping sound came out of the intake manifold and it never started after that it cranks but doesn't start No RPM while cranking the sparks work fine the fuel reaches the injector could it be a bad crank position sensor? or an intake manifold problem?

Need to replace a Crank Shaft Position Sensor For 1995 Mercedes Benz Wagon E-Class 320. Has anyone here done this for a 95? Is it as easy as shows here? Thanx!

[@kendidion3141]

Roughly how long did it take to replace the CPS? Looks like this job is in my very near future.

[@mikesgarage1518]

It took around 15 min to replace.

[@kendidion3141]

Thanks!

[@kendidion3141]

Took a little longer than 15 minutes only because the E8 bolt was a PITA to get to. Start to finish, busted knuckles and all, maybe an hour. Thanks for the video!

[@ManzanitaRecords]

@@kendidion3141 I can’t get a socket on the e8. Any advice?

[@Theundisputedtruth]

Mines is doing the same and then starts back up after a while , u would say this or fuel pump or both

[@mikesgarage1518]

Could be either I suppose. Any crank sensor codes? Have you checked fuel pressure while it is acting up?

[@alfredocalpito9439]

I have the same engine on my 2005, but the problem I have is the car runs but sometimes it jerks on a 60Mph to 70...but at 40mph it’s ok....

[@mikesgarage1518]

any codes for direction? could be engine, transmission or maybe a wheel speed sensor (not sure on that last one). good luck with the issue

[@hungphan9924]

Thank Mike, I follow your instruction to fix my car to day , it not easy but I made it thank.

[@matteozig]

Do you need to disconnect the battery to replace this? Sorry if you mentioned it in the video. I didn't hear you say anything about it.

[@mikesgarage1518]

since the key was off and no power going to the sensor I did not feel it was needed

[@achilleoscostanti9654]

Hi great video, was the car running lumpy before you changed the sensor ?

[@mikesgarage1518]

It was running ok just an intermittent code set. Code did not return after replacing.

[@albertoromano7853]

Buongiorno, complimenti bel video.

[@simonmoreno4757]

Thanks for the great video Mike! By any chance do you used to work for the dealership to have that software? What's is called?

[@mikesgarage1518]

Hi thanks. No I only do this as a hobby and never worked at a dealership. The scan tool I used in this video is the Autel MaxiSys.

[@simonmoreno4757]

@@mikesgarage1518 did you buy the roughly $300 scan tool? I really would invest in buying one to have that 16 pin diagnosis.

[@mikesgarage1518]

Unfortunately not, the one I bought was just over $2k.

[@simonmoreno4757]

@@mikesgarage1518 your a wild man haha but the good thing about that 2K equipment is you can program or make copies of key fobs lasers right? How's the Mercedes you posted running?

[@mikesgarage1518]

Still running great

[@chchcheatas9165]

Did you unplug your battery before working on the car?

[@mikesgarage1518]

No, with the key off power is not being sent to the sensor

[@dongkapuyawn5107]

Anyway can this remove from under the vehicle? I need to change mine as well. Thanks

[@mikesgarage1518]

Don't think you can reach it from underneath but I did't try. It was pretty easy to get to from the top though

[@dogukan4353]

yeeeehuu its working

[@zamenfarhan368]

Hi there, great video! Thanks. I have the same confusing symptoms with a 2002 w210. Intermittent and mostly start when the car cools down. But it would never die or sputter when driving. It wouldn't start and keeps cranking and I leave it for a few minutes and it starts, it starts right up when it is cold. Would the scanner tell me of it is a crank shift senser or if it is a full pump? Thanks

[@mikesgarage1518]

Hi it’s very possible to have a crank sensor code if it is failing. I had a similar issue years ago and at that time it was the fuel pump failing. Very easy to change on the W210

[@zamenfarhan368]

@@mikesgarage1518 you are awesome! Your help for all people out here is greatly appreciated. I am taking it to my friends shop tomorrow.... I am having a feeling it is the crank shaft senser position, but will see first if it gives that code, thanks a whole bunch again!

[@Kassiusday]

@@mikesgarage1518 hi Mike do you think I could drive the car to my local garage around 11 miles away I could go very early in the morning to avoid traffic is about half an hour ? Without risking to stop middle of the road suddenly clk 320 cabriolet never drove it that much only 50K …

[@majadsultan5196]

Thanks

[@ابراهيممحمد-ه5م8ي]

Dose this sensor effects on car idling?

[@mikesgarage1518]

I would think it could. Any codes stored for the sensor? If you have access to a scope, you could look at the signal to confirm.

[@jockw69]

Is this a CDI?

[@mikesgarage1518]

Hi it is a gas engine.

[@jockw69]

@@mikesgarage1518 thanks. My 2001 W210 E320 CDI cuts out when driving but starts back up straight away? No codes come up either. Very strange!

[@owiilezane7222]

Thank you for the video .. much appreciated!

[@Getgoodshawty]

Hey Mike question , I have 00’ e320 I was driving it perfectly fine then tried to turn it on. Key goes in and all lights turn but won’t start , I guess the crank no start issue but if I try to force the start fast it turns on but dies immediately , any thoughts ? Or will it be the sensor like you said

[@mikesgarage1518]

Are you able to see any crank sensor codes? Could be something else, maybe check fuel pressure? If fuel pressure is ok, might be worth swapping the sensor to rule it out.

[@Getgoodshawty]

@@mikesgarage1518 okay will do & keep you updated thank you
