W126 300SE Crankshaft position sensor...where can I get one please??

[D12typ]

Hi all, as per title, anyone know where I can get a crankshaft position sensor for the W126?
GSF said they had 2 types, sent me both and both wrong unfortunately

not fussed if it’s not OEM

No part number on the sensor but the one removed is one piece and majority of the cable is green in colour approx 50” long

DY12 Whats wrong with the mb dealers it will be the correct one from them.. Or try Autodoc. Post from Germany they are fast . Just had exhaust manifold gaskets for my car of them along with other parts . You do have 2 CPS on some engines one at the front one at the rear .

DY12 You have one sensor on crankshaft at the rear and most have a sensor on the front pully .

Dreamer/Star thanks for your messages

reason for replacement is I am restoring a 300SE and I have crank but no spark, coil and Ezl have been replaced previously and I’ve checked the resistance across the cps and have 2.4ohms. Spec should be 800-1200. So obviously doesn’t fall within range of any sort. Appreciate Coil and EZL are the common issues I’m pretty certain mine lies with the CPS.

I’ve been advised that Mercedes Dorset/Poole deal in classic car parts so I’ll start there, I also explored the option of a CPS from an R129 which seem to share the same measurements of loom (just over) and depth of cps which is approx 40mm

long story short I’ll let you know how I get on. Appreciate your input gents thank you

Just as I thought, replaced the crankshaft sensor, my local independent motor factor managed to source me one and she’s up and running again

thanks gents
