  1. Hi Ahsai, Well I am hopeful the new sensor fixed the issue. I reset the CEL so it's currently off but in the previous two times it tripped it took a few weeks for it to happen. I'm hoping no more CEL trips and I am optimistic. John
  2. Thanks a lot Ashai, That pic really helped me locate the sensor. For anyone looking for it I'll also give you a location by point of reference. If you are lying on your back under the car, locate the oil filter. The sensor is about 8 inches forward (toward the front of the car) and about 8 inches outward toward the passenger side of the car. Look straight up and there you will find the sensor. Getting the one bolt loose was a bear. It's tight quarters so fitting a socket wrench was not possible. It's a 5 mm hex bolt so use an allen wrench. It takes a good hard push to break it free due to blue locktite on the threads. I installed a Bosch aftermarket sensor (about $62 on Amazon) rather than the Porsche OEM sensor which is roughly $300. Took about 90 minutes from start to finish about an hour of which was trying to figure out what type of bit I needed and how to get the darn bolt loose. If I had to do it again, it's no more than a 30 minute job. BTW, my car was on jack stands, not a lift. John
  3. Hi RFM. This thread is about 6 years old but new to me. I just found it because like the original poster, I am trying to find this sensor. You final repsonse says you answered this post on another topic but I couldn't find it. I have a US 2003 996 C2. The CEL light came on a month ago. Pulled a P0349 code stating Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Intermittent (Bank 2). Car seemed to drive normally so I reset it. CEL came back on today and I pulled the same code. Again, no change in performance noticed whatsoever.Online research leads me to think this part also goes by other names includingHall Sender (this is what it's called in the Porsche Parts Catalog)Hall Effect SenderHall SensorPN is 99660610603 Your posts seem to indicate it can be replace in about 5 minutes from below the car. Sweet. Could you help me locate it? Thanks John
