Not sure how good everybody's German is but here is an article from Auto Zeitung dated 5/84. It talks about the AFT distributorless ignition system sends 1920 different timing signals to the spark plugs.

Oh joy.

Crankshaft position sensor for B6 2.8/1

Post by Sechserreihe » Sun Oct 21, 2018 6:50 pm

After thoroughly cleaning the flywheel ring gear, I discovered the shielded tooth that sets off the signal for the AFT Crank Position Sensor. It has a tiny piece of gold colored mu-metal micro welded onto it.

I still haven't had any luck finding an AFT sensor or anyone being able to send me a picture of one that I can forward to Scheffler-Engineering (formerly AFT). They've asked for some pictures of the sensor to be able search their NOS parts bins.

Any help would be appreciated.
