[Solved] Camshaft Position Sensor vs Crankshaft Speed Sensor (Engine Speed Sensor)

On a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5L SE, there is a easier solution to fix a Camshaft Position Sensor on top.  However, there is a code for a C0300 Rear Propshaft Speed Sensor.  Terms seem to be interchangeably used in videos and help forums as the "Camshaft/Crankshaft" position sensor, however these items are different.  I believe they should refer to the "Camshaft" not the "Crankshaft."

The first is easier to do such as from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6kPPgjAofI . The second is where I cannot find any more information online.

I needed help in finding the part for the Crankshaft speed or engine speed sensor and related helps to fix it.  Any information or corrections to my understanding?

Okay, the speed sensor is a three-wire sensor. It measured the flywheel spinning around so go where the engine bolts to the transmission and you'll see it there. If you buy a sensor you can easily match it up. That's how I often do it. I have the sensor in my hand and then match it up to the one on the car
