Dear Spook,

Regarding the position of the crank sensor, I think the purpose it is wedged in such tight space between the back of the engine and firewall is that if severe frontal collision occurs, the entire engine + trans bell housing will be pushed back BREAKING the sensor thus effectively stopping the engine.

This tight space placement has been a bane for servicing purposes (this more so for the 200 series) whereas it is there for safety. I salute those Volvo engineers.

Regards,
Amarin.
