About:

Peugeot XU, EW series engines crankshaft sensor ring machined to flywheel.

pulse ring: 60-2 type.

Ring 'contains' 60 teeth and 60 spaces

diameter 284.3 mm -> circular length 893,155 mm

-> 1 degree = 2,480985532 mm

Sensor position before TDC (to middle of the VR sensor tip) by counting the tooths and spaces:

20 x 7.98 mm + 19 x 6.91 mm => 159.6 + 131.29 = 290.89 mm -> 117.25 degrees.

Sensor position by circular length (measured):

290.5 mm -> 117.1 degrees.

=> Sensor is located at 117 degrees.

Conclusion and toughts;

Wonder why the sensor position is little bit in such an 'odd' angle ('by design' could it be 120 degrees ?).

Note.

Measured from 3 different flywheels -> results were similar/compatible with each other.
