Codes from yesterday
« on: 07 October 2012, 17:08 »
Hi all,

I was out for a drive yesterday, nothing out of the ordinary and after about 2 hours had some very slight hesitation when setting off, then as soon as I got home it did it again but worse and the CEL light came on.
Scanned and got the code 17746 camshaft position sensor G40 open or short. now the question is, is it the one under the timing cover next to the block where it states the enine number ARZ etc and am I better getting one from VW or can an ebay job do?

on a seperate note a code I have parts to fix came up that reminded me needing doing lambda sensor B1 S1 is this the one nearest the engine side of the cat or the rear of the car

Cheers

yes that's the right sensor, best to stick with genuine for parts like that. B1 S1 lambda is the front one

Update and could do with some help.....
replacement part showed up, fitted it and car is exactly the same, it wasnt a new part but would I need to clear the code before the car 'should' be ok if that makes sense or should it recognise itself its fixed?

anyway to clear the code other than a different reader, I can only read codes not remove them

anyone?

Would I need to clear the code before or should it go itself once the issue is fixed?

Spoke to someone at VW and gave them the codes and they said the G40 code relates to the hall sensor, which after looking is near the oil filter - can anyone confirm?

it is also known as a hall sensor but its definitely the camshaft position sensor, just order the part number i gave you.. they're struggling because there isn't one listed for ARZ engines you have to dig a little deeper in to etka
