On the 4.2 they were clearly struggling with packaging, so they fitted them on top of the transmission.
30 mins to replace on the 3.0, oficcially gearbox out and ~8 hours on the 4.2  |
I know, right? Could not they find a better place?
According to Elsa it's 0.4 hours for 3.0 TDI, and 1.3 hours for one sensor on 4.2 or 1.6h for both sensors not including adaptation. Gearbox does not have to come out, you just unbolt subframe and lover gearbox a bit to reach to the sensors, still not something I am looking forward to do on drive.
On smaller cars with 2.0TDI it's easily accessible under bonnet, can be done in 5 min.
