Camshaft positioner sensor

[WYTHIT]

Is it easy to fit a new one?

[vRSAlex]

Yes. Just remove the airbox, unplug the sensor which is on the front left of the engine pointing downwards, remove the torx t-30 bolt and the sensor will come out.  Fitting is the opposite. ;)

My advice and from personal experience is to get a genuine VW one and not one from ECP...
