P0442

P0422

P0333

P0341

P1326

Thanks

[oc-drop]

have the spark plugs and wires been changed since original?
water pump, timing belt etc been done?

Tried hitting up Google to lookup the codes?
I did real quick...
P0442 = Evap Leak possibly
P0422 = Catalytic convertor issue
P0333 & P1326 = Knock sensor issue
P0341 = Camshaft position sensor

check your little vaccum hoses and may need a new cat or oxygen sensor perhaps.

At the time of purchase was told and have mechanic paper work stating that proper service was given to car water pump, timing belt had been done zero oil and coolant leaks just started with a small ticking sound that sounds like its coming from the coil pack closest to fire wall could a bad coil pack and bad cam position sensor cause other codes to pop up vacuum lines are in pretty bad shape will look into changing them

Thanks for your help!

Take it to a shot.

Your "garage" say you have an '01 S4 and an '02 A4, and your post says this is about a '00 A4. Just making sure this is correct. I'm going to move this to the appropriate section, based on your response, but my suggestion stands. Go to a local indie shop. There are some great recommendations for shops in the sticky at the top of this section.

This is actually my sons car and am just trying to help him figure out what's wrong and try to find lead to start with

Camshaft position sensor... Ugh. They're expensive as a part and semi-pricey to replace, if that's what wrong with it.

Call up Raven Motorsports in Long Beach, and maybe take it there. They're an excellent shop and will definitely be able to help you out. Tell them Mike with the 770 S4 sent ya [:D]

Thank you for your help I will give it a try to get it towed out there instillation looks pretty simple but I am far from a mechanic my biggest concern is it's ticking like crazy would the camposition sensor cause the car to run like P**P?
