Delphi SS12342 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor
OE Camshaft Position Sensor for Volkswagen and Audi
Delphi SS12342 is an engine camshaft position sensor built for direct-fit service on select Volkswagen and Audi applications. It uses a black housing, a rectangular female connector, and a 3-terminal blade-style interface to match the original sensor layout on covered vehicles.
Fits 2018-2022 Volkswagen Passat, 2018-2021 Volkswagen Atlas, 2018-2021 Volkswagen GTI, 2019-2021 Volkswagen Jetta, 2018-2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2018-2020 Audi Q5, 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, 2018-2019 Volkswagen Beetle, 2018-2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, 2018 Volkswagen Golf, 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, and 2022 Audi A7 Sportback.
Key Features
- Delphi SS12342 engine camshaft position sensor
- Black sensor body with rectangular connector shape
- 1 connector, 3 terminals, female connector gender
- Male blade terminals for OE-style electrical connection
- Wiring harness not included
- Package contents: engine camshaft position sensor and instruction sheet
- Cross-reference part numbers include Standard Ignition PC984 and 5S15095
Detailed Description
This camshaft position sensor monitors camshaft position data for the engine control system, helping the vehicle ECU maintain accurate timing and synchronization. Delphi validates its sensor portfolio to OE standards and calibrates each unit for accurate readings, which supports consistent signal output on covered Volkswagen and Audi models. Part number SS12342 is a practical replacement choice when the original sensor has failed or is producing erratic data.
Compatible vehicle coverage includes Volkswagen Passat, Atlas, GTI, Jetta, Tiguan, Atlas Cross Sport, Beetle, Golf SportWagen, Golf, and Golf Alltrack, plus Audi Q5 and Audi A7 Sportback applications listed above. If you are replacing a camshaft position sensor on a Volkswagen GTI or Audi Q5, SS12342 matches the specified connector and terminal configuration for the application.
Common Problems This Sensor Can Address
- Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
- Hard starting or extended crank conditions tied to timing signal loss
- Rough idle caused by inconsistent camshaft position input
- Stalling or intermittent engine operation from a failing sensor
- Misfire or drivability complaints linked to inaccurate engine timing data
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and harness style before installation. SS12342 uses a 1-connector, 3-terminal, rectangular female connector with blade terminals, and it does not include a wiring harness. Compare the removed sensor to the new unit and verify the vehicle’s year, make, and model against the listed fitment before final assembly.
Quality Assurance
Delphi sensors are developed and validated using OE-focused methods and tested to OE standards for accurate readings. That calibration focus helps reduce repeat repairs and supports dependable sensor replacement on the listed Volkswagen and Audi applications.
