2007 e70 4.8l crankshaft position sensor location

[e70jane]

Can someone point me to the location of the sensors? Are their really 4 sensors on this particular car? I bought 4 of them which says to be the correct ones but when I pull out one the old ones, they look bigger. So I’m just wondering if I’m pulling the actual cam sensor out of my car or something else.

I think it should be next to the dipstick towards the front of the vehicle. I will double check too.

Usually one CRANKshaft sensor and 4 CAMshaft sensors, Not sure where on your 4.8

Cam and crank are the same sensors, no?

No sir.

Someone said it's underneath the car and attached to the tranny. More specifically, nearby the oil filter. I'll check this weekend to confirm as I suspect mine need to be replaced.
