8T0837343 Audi MAGNET

These magnets aren't for holding your tools, though they are strong! Primarily, they’re used in a bunch of sensors around your vehicle. Things like your wheel speed sensors – telling your car how fast each wheel is spinning – use a magnet and a pickup coil. Also, your crankshaft and camshaft position sensors – those tell the engine where the pistons are, for timing everything properly – rely heavily on magnets. Some even show up in power seat adjustments, or the anti – lock braking system. Basically, they create a magnetic field that’s read by a sensor. It's all about creating data. The sensor doesn’t “see” movement directly, it detects changes in that magnetic field. So, as a part rotates with the wheel or engine, the magnet creates a pulse that the car’s computer understands as speed or position. Without that pulse, the computer is blind to what's going on. It's a really simple idea, but vital for a lot of systems. If a magnet fails, you’ll usually notice pretty quickly. A failing wheel speed sensor might trigger your ABS light, and you could have issues with traction control. A bad crankshaft or camshaft position sensor will often cause your engine to run rough, or even not start at all. It basically messes with the whole firing order. It acts like a shield against inaccurate readings, so when it goes bad the computer receives bad information. You can find replacements pretty easily, a site like Fixparts Online has a good selection. Ignoring a failing magnet can lead to bigger problems and more expensive repairs down the road, so it's best to address it when you suspect something's off. Highly recommended: Magnet (MPN 8T0837343) comes with a 12-month warranty!
