VDO Gauges 2910000216800 Camshaft Position Sensor for BMW and MINI

The VDO Gauges 2910000216800 is an OEM-quality camshaft position sensor designed for BMW and MINI vehicles. This precision sensor monitors the exact position and rotational speed of the camshaft, sending critical data to the Engine Control Module (ECM) to ensure optimal engine performance.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement for BMW part number 13627633958
• Hall-effect sensor technology for accurate position detection
• Monitors camshaft position and speed for precise ignition and fuel injection timing
• Enables proper synchronization of intake and exhaust valve timing
• Essential for engine starting, smooth operation, and fuel efficiency
• OEM quality construction for reliable, long-lasting performance

The camshaft position sensor works in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to provide the ECM with complete timing information. This data is crucial for controlling ignition timing, fuel injection, and variable valve timing systems. A failing camshaft position sensor can cause check engine light illumination, hard starting, rough idle, engine misfires, stalling, or prevent the engine from starting altogether.

VDO is a trusted OEM manufacturer of engine management sensors, supplying the same quality components used by BMW dealerships. This sensor features precise Hall-effect technology that monitors the rotation of the camshaft trigger wheel, generating accurate digital signals for the ECM. Proper sensor function is critical for maintaining optimal engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions control.
