Hi Guys


I have EM Light on and had it plugged into an ECU reader today when I bought the car I was told it was a camshaft sensor does anyone know what it is and advise on the best way forward?


Thanks

Buy a new cam sensor and replace it, they are only about £25 at mercedes , 1 bolt to remove, job done.

double the price of the 0m642 diesel sensor , around £40 for febi etc , probably £80 at a dealers.


A 272 905 00 43 is the part number .
