I am planning to acquire spare cam and crank position sensors for my new to me 37K Coupe. Prior ownership dealt with SKREEM and RCM fix, and I/they believe position that sensor replacements were done but cannot verify whether BOSCH parts were used.

Question is whether it is worthwhile to have a spare RCM on hand, and whether I should stockpile any others in order to minimize down time/getting stranded. And also which retailer is recommended for these parts?

 

It is recommended to keep a spare RCM and CPS in the trunk, just in case. I also have a small tool kit for the CPS. Amazon, Needswings, FCP EURO or ??? for the spare. BOSCH only for the CPS.

 

In case you want to remove the Crank Position Sensor and find out, here's a post I did when I replaced mine.
There are a lot of detailed pictures and explanations.
The post is in 2 parts because of pictures limited to 10 per post. I hope this is helpful.
