Crankshaft Sensor Location E350 CDI W212

[harveyn]

Hi All,
I have an error code saying that there is a problem with the Crankshaft Sensor not giving a signal in my 2012 E350 CDI.
I have ordered the part, but can't find where it is situated in the engine. Do I need to remove the air filter to see it?

I have looked for a parts layout diagram, but without success.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Harvey

Not sure about the 350CDI but on the 320CDI (same block) the CPS was fitted on the top centre of the bellhousing and held on by one bolt.

Hope this helps
