Continental S119858001Z VDO Eccentric Shaft Sensor Variable Valve Lift Valvetronic

The Continental VDO S119858001Z Eccentric Shaft Sensor is an OEM-quality sensor designed for BMW Valvetronic variable valve lift systems. This precision sensor monitors the position of the eccentric shaft in real-time and reports the adjusted angle to the engine management system, ensuring optimal valve timing and engine performance.

Key Features:

• OEM quality sensor manufactured by Continental/VDO
• 9-pin connector design
• Chrome/black finish
• Precise eccentric shaft angle monitoring
• Direct replacement for BMW OEM part numbers 11377541677, 1920LX, and 00001920LX
• Designed specifically for BMW Valvetronic variable valve lift systems

Function: The Valvetronic system uses an eccentric shaft and camshaft-driven rocker arm to variably adjust intake valves. This VDO sensor precisely monitors the eccentric shaft's adjusted angle and communicates this critical data to the engine management system. This enables the system to control airflow through variable valve lift rather than traditional throttle valves, resulting in more direct power delivery and up to 10% reduction in fuel consumption.

Application: Designed for BMW vehicles equipped with Valvetronic variable valve lift technology, including various 1-Series, 3-Series, 5-Series, X3, X5, and Z4 models. This sensor is a critical component for proper engine management, emissions control, and optimal performance.

Continental VDO is the OEM supplier for BMW and manufactures these sensors to exact factory specifications, ensuring proper fit, function, and long-term reliability. VDO has been a leading automotive electronics manufacturer for over 100 years and is part of the Continental AG automotive group.
