  • The Camshaft Position Sensor is very important for your engine to run smoothly. Diagnostics show up as the OBD code P0342. Bad camshaft position sensor can cause your engine to have a rough idle, startup poorly, have profoundly bad effects on acceleration.
    The acceleration problems manifests itself in that the car will accelerate

    I have both codes on my polo as you in this video, did it fix the P0172 also if not what is the possible fix, I will try fixing P0341 with new sensor.
    I dont feel any problems while driving for now everything seems fine, it only suffers a bit on startup, and few days ago 1-2 mins after a cold startup I got temperature warning light on but somehow fixed itself by me turning the engine off and on again.
    Thanks.
    (bad english sorry)

    did you replace it with oem or a eurocarpart compatable, I've got the same issue just now, had timing chain done around 2k ago,eml was on prior does anyone know how to test actual sensor is it resistance, continuity.... that way we could save time and money

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I bought from ECP. It was a Bougicord branded part which i believe was oem as they scratched out what looked like a vw logo on it. Anyway it worked fine. You could unplug it, drive it and if nothing changes its probably is the sensor?

    Is there a way to know if the old sensor is broke? Like before I order a new one I want to know that it is that sensor that is causing my cars problems. Like it won’t accelerate past a certain point until I switch gears. The revs go up and down and it cuts off a lot especially while in traffic etc

    My partners polo is doing the same thing and brings on the traction control light? Do you have to clear the fault codes after changing the sensor as well?

  • @uberscuba4796
    @uberscuba4796 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this video was from 4 years ago but on the off chance you see this message, did changing the sensor actually fix the problem? I've been doing research on this engine and it seems a common problem with this fault code is a problem with the timing chain, usually it stretches and jumps. I've bought exactly the same car as my first car and have the same fault code. I've recently changed the sensor following this video and am praying this fixes it. If not then it will most likely be a timing fault which costs a lot to fix. I'd like to know if you also had a timing issue.

    My Polo is giving me same fault code 16272 "Camshaft position sensor (G40) signal to high" so I just replaced the Cam sensor but the fault is still there. Also noticed that when the AC is on the car shuts down...... Can anyone suggest me anything else? By the way the new sensor is OEM.

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmm, could be a timing issue. The ac doesnt seem connected, if you can visually see the ac compressor in the engine bay, you should have someone turn ac on when the car is running and watch it to see if it has ceased.

    Hi, could this cause my engine to misfire as im getting the P0342 reading and also the P0303 reading that is misfire in 3rd cylinder, Could the misfire stop if the camshaft position sensor gets fixed?

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      misfiring as in you are completely down to 2 cylinders?

    • @ajhuyton7072
      @ajhuyton7072 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Messed Up Mechanic no, it intermittently does it and I haven't had the chance to get a compression test on it yet. I just thought maybe if I replace the sensor then the misfire will not occur. The misfire usually occurs from stand still going into first after a few miles of driving but it's never consistent

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If it is intermittent it may be the sensor. I would try and unplug the electrical connector for the sensor and drive it. If problem persists all the time it would likely be the sensor

    Hi dont know if you can help but have a hiccuping issue with my 02 polo changed coil packs and plugs cleaned map sensor had pressure tests done used a fuel cleaner and had injectors checked code p0172 came up prior to doing all this and all to no avail. Any ideas as to what to try next? Could it be the coolant or mad sensor but no codes showing on vag machine now am at a loss and so is the garage I went to told me to drive it into the ground and get a new car cheeky sods

      @vanessascholey2856 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@messedupmechanic3607 basically it stutters under load its like it has less power under acceleration so to try to compensate and sort of hiccups difficult to explain but like a momentary loss of power then picks back up again like I said have cleaned lots of sensors replaced coil and spark plugs exhaust seems ok so at a dead end.

      sounds like you changed alot of parts. When it was in the garage did they check timing? I know these polos sometimes have a problem with timing chain slack, but the problem with that is its expensive to fix. It is a known problem with this era polo
