Genuine OEM Engine Component (General Motors / GM Original Equipment, usually manufactured by an OE supplier like Delphi/Bosch).
Part Number: 96829958 (Official GM OE Number).
Interchangeable OE: Also widely cross-referenced with 4805298 (Opel/Vauxhall).
Component Name: Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor).
Primary Applications (Engine Specific): This sensor is crucial for Chevrolet and related Opel/Vauxhall vehicles equipped with the 2.0L VCDi Common Rail Diesel engine (Engine Codes: Z20S, Z20DMH):
Chevrolet Captiva (C100/C140 Chassis): Fits 2.0L VCDi Diesel models (approx. 2006–2018). Confirms your Captiva C100 2.0cc.
Chevrolet Cruze: Fits certain global markets' 2.0L Diesel models.
Opel Antara / Vauxhall Antara: Fits the related 2.0L Diesel models.
Key Function: Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with the primary timing reference for the engine, absolutely vital for controlling the precise, high-pressure injection timing of the Common Rail Diesel system.
This is a Genuine OEM Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor), identified by the GM part number 96829958. This sensor is a factory-original component designed specifically for the 2.0L VCDi Common Rail Diesel engine found in the Chevrolet Captiva (C100 and C140) chassis.
The CKP sensor is critical for the function and reliability of this diesel engine:
Diesel Timing Synchronization: The sensor monitors the rotation of the crankshaft with extremely high precision. The ECM uses this highly accurate signal as the foundational data point to calculate the exact timing for the high-pressure fuel injection events, which is essential for diesel combustion.
Engine Start: A fault with this sensor is one of the most common causes of a crank-no-start condition or sudden engine stalling in these diesel vehicles.
Genuine Quality: Given the precise requirements of the VCDi system, using the Genuine GM Part ensures high signal quality and durability, preventing intermittent performance issues or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to engine timing.
Fitment Assurance: The part number 96829958 is consistently verified as the correct genuine CKP sensor for the Chevrolet Captiva C100 2.0L VCDi Diesel engine.
Compatible Vehicle (Primary Applications - Check VIN for confirmation of 2.0L VCDi Diesel Engine):
Chevrolet Captiva (C100/C140) 2.0L Diesel (2006–2018)
Opel / Vauxhall Antara 2.0L Diesel
