Where is the crankshaft position sensor located in the Smart ForTwo?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

In this video, we can see where the engine speed sensor is located in the Smart ForTwo, which is useful in case we need to replace it. As shown, the sensor is positioned in the upper left area of the engine, but accessing it will require removing the intercooler, EGR valve, and the control unit, which can be quite time-consuming. However, replacing the sensor itself is very simple. We just need to disconnect the power connector, unscrew the two mounting bolts, and follow the reverse procedure. Of course, make sure to work with the engine completely cooled down.
