Make sure he said CRANK sensor and not CAMSHAFT. Here's the CRANKSHAFT sensor.

thanks ,but im a bit confuse now ,i did read the service manuel and heres the step thet telling me :
1- disconect battery
2-raise car
3-remove structural collar ( what the hell is this? )
4- disconect connector
5-remove sensor

it seems more complicated this way,or your way is the same but you just bypass this step(structural collar )?

Maybe the turbo is a little different.

The "structural collar" is nothing more then a pin that holds the connector together. They can be difficult to remove. If you break the pin don't worry as long as it snaps back together. Also, check to see if the wiring harness is rubbing the axle shaft. The plastic connector that holds it in place can break and the harness falls against the axle rubbing the harness into (or some of the wires)
