Where is the camshaft position sensor located?
The camshaft position sensor can be found in the right side of the engine compartment at the rear of the valve cover.
What happens if you dont change your camshaft position sensor?
Poor Drivability. A failing camshaft position sensor begins losing its ability to quickly transfer data. Mismatched fuel delivery and ignition timing, even if off by a few milliseconds, will cause your vehicle to sputter, accelerate poorly, lack power, stall or even shut off.
How does a camshaft actuator work on an Audi A4?
The Audi A4 utilizes camshaft actuators to change the valve lift depending on the RPM of the motor. This allows for a more efficient cam profile at any speed. This increases both engine efficiency and power. Camshaft Position Actuators change the lift of the camshaft up to 25 degrees.
What is the problem with my A4 1.8T?
Hello! I have a A4 1.8t which developed a starting problem and an engine management fault (camshaft position sensor), took it to my local VW/Audi specialist who after a week failed to find the cause.
Where is the cam position sensor on a 1.8T VW?
Fortunately for us, the cam position sensor in the 1.8T sensor is conveniently located and fairly easy to change. In the photos below I have moved the radiator support panel into the service position, but I don’t think it’s necessary to do so.
What is the trouble code on an Audi A4?
P0010 is a relatively common trouble code. It affects vehicles with variable valve timing (VVT). The list of VVT vehicles is growing, and the Audi A4 can have VVT, and is prone to developing this code. P0010 is a generic OBDII code.
