Great Part, Great Price - Bad Fit Data from Amazon
I love the product... Genuine Bosch for a fraction of the cost of the Genuine Bosch that has Bosch numbers on one side and a three pointed star on the other. I bruised the heck out of my hand reaching the sensor and getting it out and reinstalled as it is a very tight fit between the firewall and cylinder head. But, the savings over taking the car to the dealer was huge as it would have been $500 with them. Be sure to have your E8 star socket, long extensions and U joint extension. Once installed and torqued properly to 8 N-m (per the Benz service DVD) I cleared the code and the car is running great with no more long crank times to start and no more check engine light. The product is great, but I have a couple gripes about Amazon on this...1) I ordered relatively early on a Sunday and paying $3.99 extra for over night shipping was not offered as it usually is with Prime. Instead, all that was offered was my "Free Two Day" shipping which didn't have the item delivered until Wednesday. So, my car had to sit for 3 1/2 days waiting for "Two Day" shipping. With Prime it is odd how sometimes Sunday counts and sometimes it does not. And, 2) The Amazon fit list is incorrect. Amazon says that this items does not fit my 2005 E500 4Matic. In fact, it does fit and is an exact match. I removed the old sensor and found the correct part number based on the actual part. The actual part has a Bosch number on one side and the Benz part number on the other. The Bosch number was 0261210171. By cross referencing that number through Bosch and other parts sites as well as looking up the Benz part number, I was able to verify that indeed ...70 was a proper replacement for ...71. I have no idea where Amazon is getting their fit data, but the fact that all the other sites show it as the right part both as replacement for the part and the right part for the VIN, it is clear Amazon is getting some bad data.

Fixed my 2004 Crossfire starting issue
This sensor fixed the starting problem my 2004 3.2L V6 Crossfire was having! I’m a 43 year old woman and this part was extremely easy to install by myself. My problems started after driving my car to town one day. When I tried to start my car to return home it kept turning over but wouldn’t start. I waited several minutes and luckily it started again. After I got home I turned off my car then tried to start it and once again it kept turning over but wouldn’t start. The next morning when the engine was cool it started right up but after the engine was warm I ran into the same issue of it turning over but not starting. I wasn’t about to wait for my check engine light to come on so I started doing some research. After reading on the crossfire forum that several others had the same problem I decided to purchase this part and my car has run great ever since I replaced this sensor. It took me less than 15 minutes to remove the old sensor and replace it with this new one. Lucky I have small hands so I was able to reach down to where it was easily. Who knows what a mechanic would have charged me or how many other parts they would have told me I needed. I’m thrilled that what I thought would be a big expensive ordeal was such a simple inexpensive fix and I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Best & usually the less expensive choice!
I waited several months after installation to review this BOSE CPS. Its the 3rd and FINAL CPS I've purchased in 1yr! The 1st one was a generic from the local Auto Parts chain, which was $20 more expensive than this BOSE, & a few months later it failed. I couldn't figure out why the car had the same symptoms, the CSP was new after all. But I got a scanner & downloaded the Tourque App &it gave me the same code for failed CPS. So I ordered another one from ebay for $12. But I saved the original one that came out of my ML350 & looked at it. Even though it had the same number the generics have, the original said BOSE. So after checking online forums & the reviews here on Amazon I decided not to bother having that other generic one put in & i ordered this one. People in reviews & forums had mixed results from the generic CPS's so a lot of them said it was best to get this one. I totally agree, especially since there isn't necessarily a great price difference. In fact the BOSE is cheaper here than the noname brand depending on where you buy it. This is the one that Mercedes uses for this car. If you have the code for the CPS, just get this one to be on the safe side. Its a hassle to change these things. The generics may or may not be reliable, but this one's definitely reliable.

Worked for 2003 W211 E320 Base v6
Having recently changed the battery in the trunk, and after driving 30 some miles, the crank sensor decided it was time to die. Vehicle mileage is approximately 75,000 miles. Thankfully, the car was being serviced when it died. This sensor works. The location is in the closet to the driver side and it can be removed by feel with a torx E8 socket and extensions. The screw is small, so be careful not to drop it. A reset of the ECU and you are good to go. A mirror on a stick was helpful for screw alignment but be warned it is very difficult to get a complete view of the screw to hole alignment. A little motor oil should be used to lube the sensor before insertion. I avoided the less expensive options, just not worth the experiment.

Good quality part
Felt like an OEM factory fit. Fixed the issue. Woks as intended for my 2006 OM647 2500 sprinter 2.7L 5cyl diesel.

Dit Bosch product is identiek aan het Mercedes onderdeel A 003 153 28 28 maar veel voordeliger in prijs. Als uw auto ca. 200.000 kilometer gereden heeft is het raadzaam dit onderdeel te vervangen. Als uw auto bij koude motor goed rijd en bij warme motor minder goed, of bij lange ritten zelfs uit wil gaan of helemaal niet meer wil starten dan kan het aan deze krukas sensor liggen. Zeker de moeite waard om te vervangen.

My Mercedes came to a sudden shutdown while I was making a turn in buisy traffic. I tried to restart, but it only spun over nothing, nothing else. I saw I had my check engine light on. I never had any vehicle stop running quite like that. After about 30 minites I tried it again, and it started up again, and it was running as nice as ever. That really scared me, but I drove home safely. Now it was time to search online what the problem might be. I got a few good hints here and there, and one of them was for me to get a code scanner. I got me a Blue Driver from Amanzon, and I found 3 codes. One was the crankshaft position sensor. This senser seemed also to be the only one that made the most sense. So I got one from Amazon, because many people recommended it since it was a German Bosch unit. It got here within a few days, and last Sunday I installed it. Took about an hour all in all. It started right up, and the code was gone. Now I am driving around here and there to see if the code stays away. I kept the Blue Driver plugged in for now. It seems as though my ML320 is a bit more responsive now than what I remember from before. I think I made the right decisions.

Bought this as a spare, so cannot really rate the unit. Every Crossfire car owner recommends only genuine Bosch parts. The Chrysler Crossfire (Mercedes Clone) sensor has a history of failure leaving your car inoperative on the side of the road. This is a spare every owner should carry. I am hopeful that it is the real thing when it happens to me.
