Will the GoWesty Crank Position Sensor System fit my Vanagon, and does it require any modifications to install?

The GoWesty Crank Position Sensor System is designed exclusively for Volkswagen Vanagon models from 1983 to 1991 using the GoWesty GW-EFI system. It’s a completely bolt-on upgrade — you won’t need to make any modifications to your crank pulley or nearby engine components. Everything mounts cleanly using included hardware for a reliable, leak-free fit thanks to the custom Viton® seal.

How easy is the installation process for the GoWesty Crank Position Sensor, and can I do it myself at home?

Installation is straightforward and ideal for the confident DIYer. The GoWesty Crank Position Sensor System bolts directly on without special tools or engine modifications. The system is engineered for easy sensor timing and adjustment to get your Vanagon running smoothly with the GW-EFI kit. Clear instructions are included, so whether you’re upgrading or replacing the sensor, you can confidently handle it in your own garage.

What about long-term maintenance, sensor replacement, and warranty coverage for the Crank Position Sensor System?

For ongoing reliability, the GoWesty Crank Position Sensor System uses a readily available replacement sensor (part #HE568-ND). The robust Viton® seal keeps the system leak-proof even as you make timing or sensor adjustments. GoWesty stands by its products with responsive technical support if questions come up. Should you need to replace the sensor in the future, the process is hassle-free and parts are accessible, so your Vanagon stays on the road.

GoWesty Crank Position Sensor System (Included with GW-EFI Kit)

This crank position sensor system is a smart, fully bolt-on solution that comes standard with our GW-EFI kit. Designed for simplicity and reliability, it requires no modifications to the crank pulley or surrounding components.

The system features fore/aft adjustment via the breather tower bolts—just loosen them to fine-tune positioning. Our custom Viton® seal remains in place during adjustments, ensuring a leak-proof fit with no need for additional sealant.

Timing adjustment is equally straightforward: Just loosen the sensor bolt and turn the top-mounted M6 adjustment screw. That’s it—no fuss, no leaks, no compromises.

Important note: This crank position sensor system is designed specifically for use with the GoWesty GW-EFI system. We do not guarantee compatibility or provide support if used with any other engine management system.
