New CPS is in... Still throwing code...

Camshaft Position Sensor (G40): Short or Open to Plus
-------- Intermittent

Checked it out in the eBahn(R) Repair and checked the wiring and the voltage with multimeter, everything checks out.

Checked tension on timing belt, there appears to be some slack, but wasn't able to quite twist it 90 degrees.

My only question is: Would it be throwing this code or the Camshaft correlation code?

 

I would stop driving the car at this moment and take apart the front end, get the timing covers off and get a real good look at your hydraulic tensioner, if its leaking thats the cause of the extra slack in the belt and the cam fault code. What mileage are you at? How long has it been since you've done the timing belt?

 

The timing belt was said to be done by previous owner around 90k, I'm a little under 150... The car is not being driven at the time...

It's being prepped for surgery tomorrow when I get off... Going to pick up timing belt and tensioner tomorrow on lunch and ripping the front end off when I get off.

 

Make sure to buy both the hydraulic tensioner and the eccentric roller tensioner, at that mileage both need to be changed.

 

Will do... you don't happen to have part numbers that I need to get from the VW store? Do ya?

 

Timing belt was changed... Car running 1000% better Also fixed a bad vaccuum line that I noticed while I was in there.

 

Thats good, im gonna have to ADD a cam position sensor short to positive under timing belt failure as well, its wierd because that fault code doesn't make any sense. It means the sensor has a short going to the sensor. Oh well, as long as its fixed. [8D]
