I'd get a CPS, if it does not fix it, you have a spare for when it DOES happen. Get a BOSCH, either from Autohuas in Arizona or German Auto Supply. Part number was 003 153 27 28 but now they ship a 0 261 210 170 (002).
Thanks Pizzaguy. I went ahead and ordered the sensor as yourself and others believe that is the most likely concern. Ordered from German Auto Supply earlier today. If anyone wants to share any instructions to changing it out, that would be appreciated.
I will put up a picture of the Crank Shaft Pulley and its apparent ware shortly. I would appreciate if anyone could recommend a part# and or a website to purchase the part from. It appears the rubber seal in the pulley is the cause of the "slight wobble". Could this simply be repaired with a new rubber seal? Or must I replace the whole part?
Thanks!
