1Q0959261 Volkswagen MAGNET

Basically, this magnet creates a magnetic field. That field is used in a bunch of different things – from sensors that tell your car how fast the wheels are spinning, to activating relays and solenoids. It’s an electrical component, so it’s all about converting electrical energy into magnetic force, and vice versa. Different types have different strengths and sizes, depending on what they need to do. You’ll find these magnets in things like your crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, wheel speed sensors, even in some fuel pump and starter motor components. They’re also used in a lot of the electronic control units and various switches throughout the car. Basically, wherever something needs to be sensed or activated electrically, there’s a good chance a magnet is involved. Think of it like this: a lot of sensors use a toothed wheel spinning near a magnet. As the teeth pass by, it changes the magnetic field, and the car’s computer interprets that as speed or position information. It's critical because without a working magnet in these sensors, your car’s computer gets incorrect information. That can lead to all sorts of issues – from a check engine light and rough running, to the engine not starting at all. It's not always something you'll immediately notice is failing – it’s usually a gradual degradation of performance or an outright failure of a specific system. If a sensor stops sending the right signal, the car's computer can't properly control things. You can often find replacements for these online; Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection of these types of parts, and makes it easy to find the right one for your vehicle. They’re generally fairly inexpensive to replace, but getting it right is key. Proven reliability: Magnet (MPN 1Q0959261) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
