Cam position sensors?

[TripleBlack911]

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased my dream car used (1999 911 Carrera 4) and the check engine light reads codes for the Cam position sensors. Does anyone have experience with these? Is it a tedious job (labor intensive). Or any recomendations for some parts over others. Thanks a lot, I look forward to your responses and really appreciate them.

Kind of a pain to get at. particularly the one on 1-3 side (drivers side). Plan on a couple of hours labor, sensor lists for $238 but you can get it much cheaper.

Here is Pelican's listing for the sensor:

and the o-ring which you shoud also replace.

I would also check with Sunset Porsche, their pricing is always good.
