Crankshaft Position Sensor Reluctor gear

Anyone have photos of the reluctor gear for the crankshaft position sensor?

It's called a flywheel.

It's a 60 gap pattern, 2 "teeth" missing (3 total gaps) to indicate DTC to the computer..... for what it's worth it happens to be the same pattern as a 1.8 turbo Audi/VW motor. They use a "ring" mounted to the crank about 6 inches in diameter. That ring is now mounted to the front of the crank on my TDI in the Rover and the Rover sensor reads it. Works quite well.

Great info. Thanks.

Thanks for the photo. I wasn't sure what the teeth looked like on it.

Looks like this.

The GEMS trigger is different in that it is a stamped piece of steel with teeth cut out of it.
