How do you replace the camshaft sensor on a Mercedes E-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe E W212 - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

It will be possible to replace the camshaft sensor of the Mercedes E-Class by opening the hood to access the internal components of the engine compartment. Here, you can proceed by removing the cover at the top of the engine block and then also removing the pulley that controls the movement of the camshaft. Once the pulley is removed, you will be able to locate the sensor at its rear: you will need to disconnect it and then insert the new replacement part. After that, you will need to reassemble all the necessary components, ensuring that everything functions correctly.
