Don't know about your car's engine for certain but on mine 2.6 190E there is a crank sensor in the "bell housing" at rear of engine. Also a TDC (top dead centre sensor) on the front of the engine about half way down near coolant pump area . Get a Haynes manual for your car and it'll tell you. You can clean the crank sensor simply enough I think, but setting the TDC sensor is an MB specialist job.
