Whats this? Somethings not right
« on: September 25, 2011, 05:49:24 pm »
Long story short and this got damaged fitted my induction back on and now the car hesitates and engine management light was flashing earlier.
Firstly what is it? Wheres the best place to buy and roughly how much is it. My first thought was cam position sensor?

It is to my knowledge the cam position sensor, someone with ETKA will see this and assist you with a part number  :happy2:

Right wen to volkswagon this morning and on there system they were unable to help at all and because mines damaged i cant remove the plug to find the part number. Is there a kind hearted gent out there willing to see if theres has a part number and what it is. Otherwise im going to have to take it into a garage and really dont want to do that.

i just had a look at mine, couldnt see any part numbers, but as someone else already said its the vvt solnoid, if u ask vw for a picture of the vvt compenents it should hopefully list it there, i hope for your benefit it is available seperatly as it looks expensive and possibly a bit of a slag to fit. It shouldnt really do any damage driving it, you will probably just get a lack of power.

Right car has gone into the garage today and i have a bit of a bonus. If my car was newer and not engine code AXX the sensor would cost me £160 but as it is AXX its only £60. Also its really easy to fit as theres just two torque bits and it slides out. Took it out to see if i could find a part number and in the end vw rang to say they have the number for it now.
