Camshaft position sensor (G40)

[ChatYTB]

Hey guys

I have one weird issue sometimes it pops up error camshaft position sensor and sometimes fine .. But it only comes up when I do colds start in morning or after work, engine cranking quite long. Once or twice already was cranking very long and engine just stalled didn't even started.. and on dash error came up auto start/stop function unavailable.. But when I turn off ignition and start car again it starts normally ...

Any help appreciated

This is on the diesel?

From the above posted pic of the vcds scan looks to be electrical...connector...wires...corrosion...

This is the G40 "Camshaft position sensor": (intake cam position sensor near #4 intake runner)



The magnetic adjusters are N318(exhaust) & N205(intake)

MikTip I think u are naive amateur mechanik only
I did not say petrol and diesel are exactly the same .. I said they are almost same and very similar

I suggest you to watch this https://youtu.be/aWeqyAxlM2M

And I knew you typically will show sensor .. As usual sales person or amateur .. You think I don't know that ? That first thing is to change sensor .. I replaced like 3 of them ..


@ReggieNoble exactly knows what is issue ..

I think u only messing with audi cars swapping engines weirdly because u bored

U even showed wrong sensor means u really don't know or have idea
This is correct one below

There is no difference between diesel audi a3 and petrol a3 they design is almost identical only difference is that petrol engine has petrol in it with spark plugs and diesel has glow plugs and petrol engine has spark ignition and diesel has compression ignition
The collant system is exactly same the transmission is exactly the same
Only engine is petrol
