The cam sender runs on the exhaust camshaft, picture shown with coil removed.



I'll check where the crank sender is.

The car won't start at all if there is no signal from the crank sender.
Maybe the same for the cam sender as well but not totally sure.
What are the symptoms?
Unfortunately a friend of mine has my mk3 golf bentley manual  :embarassed:
But i did own a vr6 for 4 years so might be able to help  :laugh:

I take it you have replaced the fuel pump and ECU relays?

Its been a long time but i think you will need to remove the coil to get to it.
Before you replace that, make sure that you have replaced these relays,
ECU relay(no.167) and the Fuel Pump Relay(no.30).
