Help: 2015 Fiat 500L crankshaft position sensor

[Teknical1]

Hello everyone,

I through a code of p0339 for the crankshaft position sensor. I bought the part from Fiat to replace and was getting ready to replace it, but I could not find any documentation or videos regarding how to replace the crankshaft position sensor on a 2015 fiat 500L. Every video I have seen looks at a different model and placement of the sensor. There does not appear to be any easy way because it looks like it goes behind the exhaust manifold and turbo.

Before I go start tearing stuff apart, i wanted to see about getting some some help if anybody could offer it. Do I have to take apart the turbo and manifold to get to this? or remove the downpipe? Also, looking from whatever angle I can get for it, it appears it goes INTO the block, so I am confused about how to get to the Allen key bolt once I even get to where its going without removing the transmission? Am I looking at this all wrong or is there an easy way to do this? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Teknical1; sorry to hear of your issue.

I found this video on YouTube and I read it depends whether you have a manual or automatic for the location.
