• 2014‑16 E250 (OM651)
• 2016‑17 GLE300d (OM651)
• 2013‑15 GLK250 (OM651)
• 2015 ML250 (OM651)
• 2014‑17 Sprinter 2500 (OM651)
• 2014‑17 Sprinter 3500 (OM651)

Engine Compatibility

The sensor is compatible with the OM651 engine family, which includes:

• 2.1 L and 2.2 L inline‑four diesel engines.
• Both naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants.

Design & Build Quality

Bosch is renowned for its rigorous quality standards, and this sensor reflects that heritage:

• Robust housing made from high‑strength alloy to withstand harsh engine bay environments.
• Precision Hall effect transducer delivering accurate magnetic field detection.
• Sealed connector interface protecting against moisture, oil, and debris.

Installation Overview

Replacing the camshaft position sensor is a straightforward procedure for experienced technicians:

1. Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to ensure safety.
2. Locate the sensor on the engine block near the camshaft gear.
3. Remove the old sensor by unscrewing its mounting bolt and disconnecting the electrical connector.
4. Install the new Bosch 0232103107 sensor, ensuring proper alignment of the magnetic pole with the camshaft gear teeth.
5. Reconnect the battery and perform a diagnostic check to confirm correct sensor operation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter performance problems after installing this sensor, consider the following checks:

• Verify connector integrity: Ensure no corrosion or loose contacts.
• Check for mechanical interference: Confirm that the sensor housing is not obstructed by surrounding components.
• Inspect the camshaft gear teeth: Wear or damage can affect magnetic signal quality.
• Use diagnostic tools to read ECU error codes related to camshaft position (e.g., P0300, P0335).
