Camshaft Position Sensor - Volkswagen Golf Mk5

How to replace the camshaft position sensor on a 2004 to 2007 Volkswagen Golf Mark 5. If your camshaft position sensor is faulty, your engine might judder, surge or even stall due to an improper amount of fuel being injected. You may have poor acceleration, bad fuel economy and your car may even go into ‘limp mode’. You may also have a check engine light on. A code reader might show any of these error codes if there’s a fault with the camshaft sensor: P0340, P0340, P0341, P0342, P0343, P0344 or P1345. Please Note: There are other engine issues that could cause these same symptoms. A faulty camshaft sensor is just one of the possible causes. The replacement part number is 036907601D.

Hi, why did you remove the hose from the oil filler cap?I liked the video,

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks, it was connected to the engine cover and I wanted to remove that completely

[@EduardM.]

Why did you remove the battery socket?

[@NSFDarkIce]

Would this be the same for a GTI with the TSI engine?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I'm not sure about the TSI engine, I haven't worked on one, sorry.

[@teisopam3338]

Hi, can the code p0016 have that sensor die? I have the same model with the same engine.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

This could be one of the causes of the P0016 code. Check this link: www.fixdapp.com/blog/p0016-code/

[@teisopam3338]

@@screwsnutsandbolts My engine behaves normally, starts normally, receives gas normally, it is a little weak but that is normal for that engine, I changed its oil and belts and I toothed it properly. Before regular service it worked normally without that error code and as I did the service now throws out that error on the diagnostics, I suspected that I didn't toothet belts well, but I did, it's simple with that model and that engine, anyone who understands a little can re-tighten the belts properly, I don't know what to do anymore, the only thing left to replace the sensor.Diagnostics says like this:
P0016
Crankshaft Position
Camshaft Position
Correlation Bank 1
Sensor A

[@martinprendi2079]

I want to change the same but 1.4 gt

[@aliasgaramirali323]

Is this 1.6?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

This is the 1.4 petrol engine

[@raym4916]

Will the new sensor need calibration?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

No I don't think it needs to be calibrated
