How much does a new Hall sensor/sender cost these days?

About $170

i think that is the reference sensor - the hall sensor can be had for quite a bit less

Bosch reference sensors are only $75 these days.

Is this the part you replaced? It sells for $136 at Pelicanparts

That is the hall sensor.

If anyone needs one, I have a good used hall sensor
for $70 shipped.

I'm interested! mine is hanging on via duck tape ! lol

Send me a PM.
I think shipping to the UK maybe a pain.
(read added shipping cost)

The back side of the connector is right next the HCV.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Thanks, but my question is: Are "hall sensor" and "hall sender" two ways of saying the same thing, or are they two separate items? They seem to be used interchangeably, so it sounds like they're the same thing, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are one and the same.

per the workshop manual, the correct term is Hall Sender

Thanks for that clarification. But now, a new term has been thrown out - what the heck is a reference sensor?

it goes back at the flywheel - pretty sure we have one, though i've never seen it - pelican says we do

part number 944-606-115-00-M14

The reference sender is mounted at the back of block above the flywheel.
This tells the ECU where the crank is.

If anyone is looking for a reference senser. The early model BMW's reference senser interchanges and ia alot cheaper!!!

Less than $75.

Yes we do. I replaced mine when I banged and dinged the silver coloured cover while installing the new DMF. My car runs much smoother after replacing the old one. By the way, the 924 and 944 has two of these, but the 968 has only one.

The BMW sensor is cheaper but the cable is much longer, and at the time I thought that the extra cable length brought it to close to the exhaust manifold. If this is an issue I don't know, but I want to keep my electronics as far away from that heat source as possible.

I think I paid $59 for the BMW reference sensor last year. Sure it's longer, mine is looped around the oil filler tube to take up the slack.

Good solution!
