I think the sensor is approx £30 and VW will know it as a CAM Position sensor

Topher or ivor will know for sure

my guess would be the throttle position sensor IS causing the misfire

either way you need to replace the sensor

cant understand it looks brand new! theres noway i could of put the throttle body or pipes back together wrong is there thats causing the misfire??

okay so ive been vw 2day and the part isnt called the throttle sensor as said and they cant find a part called CAM position sensor. so im a bit confused on which part i need and so was the bloke, he came back to me with another sensor which cant remember name which was gona cost £90 but i didnt know if it was the correct one.
can some1 help me out and tell me which sensor i need please???
again prob is ''throttle position sensor - closed'' thats what the code reads.

thanx
