Just made timing belt job and this happenned

[AllroadArg]

Hi guys i want to know what is happening with my AR. I just finish changing the TB and the car sounds fine and drives good. Today i ran VCDS and the p1340 code appear, no CEL though. Im sending a vídeo with the readings on the engine 91, 92 and 93 blocks

Any suggestions? Could it be the sensor or i hv to do my timing all over again

Thx in advance

Love the forum

Sorry bout my English im from Argentina

You'll have to re-do the belt. Both cams are way off. That means that two separate camshaft sensors are out of phase with crankshaft sensor. Since everything was fine before that TB change and now it is way off after, it is safe to assume that it is you who caused it, not a broken sensor .

Have you followed the ECS timing belt change instructions to a "T" (exactly?). Make sure to use crankshaft pin too.

I didnt use the crankshaft pin, here in Argentina having this car is extremely expensive, but i love her so i will do everything i can to make her the way it was once upon a time , i already bought the camshaft bar and locking pin from ebay, im using the car and hvno problems so far, but i think i should let it rest till i hv that fixed. Thx for the reply. Im sending some pics ofnthe position of my cams when i did the valve cover gasket job.

one bank is "good" but the other one is about 5 deg off from perfect. You really need to have these in the middle of notch for good "Zero deviation" timing. So the banks are about 5 degrees off from each other plus quite a lot off because crank was not at exact TDC, or at least ended up there if you didn't follow "pre-tensioning of belt before tightening timing sprockets" rule.
