Audi A5 8T 2.0 TFSI CDNB Camshaft Position Sensor Automatic 07L905163A

Audi A5 8T 2.0 TFSI CDNB Camshaft Position Sensor is an original component from the Transmission sensors group, designed to work with the drivetrain in Audi vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Precise reading of the camshaft position is crucial for stable engine operation, correct ignition timing control, and smooth gear shifting in an automatic transmission.

Purpose and function of the sensor

The presented sensor is responsible for monitoring the camshaft position and transmitting a signal to the engine control unit, which uses this data to synchronize fuel injection and ignition. In combination with an automatic transmission, this ensures:

• stable idle speed,
• correct response to accelerator pedal input,
• consistent drivetrain performance during gear changes.

For the 2.0 TFSI CDNB unit in the Audi A5 8T, a properly functioning camshaft position sensor has a direct impact on engine refinement, minimizing jerking, and reducing the risk of entering limp mode.

Compatibility with automatic transmission

The component has been designed to work with an automatic transmission, where the accuracy of the sensor signal is particularly important for smooth gear selection. In practice, this translates into:

• more predictable vehicle behavior during acceleration and deceleration,
• better cooperation between the engine control unit and the transmission control module,
• reduced risk of incorrect gear shifts resulting from erroneous camshaft position readings.

As a result, the sensor is an important element of the entire drivetrain control system in the Audi A5 8T with the 2.0 TFSI CDNB unit.

Characteristics and advantages of use

As an element from the Transmission sensors group, the camshaft position sensor has been developed to maintain the factory operating parameters of the system. Using this component allows you to:

• restore correct engine synchronization after the failure of the old sensor,
• minimize errors stored in the controller's memory related to the camshaft position,
• maintain compliance with the factory control logic of the power unit.

This solution is particularly recommended when diagnosing problems with starting, misfires, or unstable engine operation in combination with an automatic transmission.

Condition of the component and installation aspects

The offered sensor is a used part, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Before installation, a standard service procedure is recommended, including checking the electrical harness, connectors, and proper seating of the sensor in the socket to ensure a stable signal reading.

Selecting parts by OEM number or interchangeable numbers allows for precise matching to the specific configuration of the Audi A5 8T 2.0 TFSI CDNB, which reduces the risk of compatibility issues and speeds up the repair process.

Technical support and selection of used electronics

In the case of sensors and other electronic components, it is particularly important to match them correctly according to the manufacturer's markings and ensure hardware and software compatibility with the given vehicle. Practical tips on selection, compatibility verification, and installation can be found in the Global Parts guide: Used automotive electronics – ECU modules and second-hand sensors, which discusses, among other things, selection by VIN/OEM, HW/SW issues, and frequently asked questions.
