Default Crank position sensor

I have a 1999 Audi a4 1.8t 4 cyl, which recently had some starting problems and also dying out when driving. I brought to the shop in town and they told me its probably the crank position sensor. Im having a hard time finding a diagram or anything to explain where the sensor is located to switch it out. When looking for the part online, there seems to be different pics for the piece, so im not 100% sure what it looks like. If anyone could help me locate where its at in the engine, or even what the part looks like, it would be a lot of help. Any tips on replacing it would be much appreciated also. Thanks alot!
