[s-cars] Cam sensor replacement

[Aaron Taylor]

Hi all -
Car is 1995.5 S6 avant.
Ive been browsing the archives and read several posts regarding
replacing the cam position sensor.
Amy body have additional tips or suggestions?
Im getting an intermittent light with cam sensor code.
It is sometimes slightly hard to start and last nite my wife could not
get it started at all (warm).  This morning it started right up.
Should I bother trying to diagonse this further?  Could any thing else
be tripping this code?
It tough as its intermittent.
Im tempted to get a Bently before attempting this job but it does not
sound too difficult.
Are you guys under the belief this can be done without removing radiator
etc?
Am I correct the sensor is behind the cam sproket and can be accessed by
releasing tension on timing belt and removing sproket?
Slide radiator forward as much as possible, remove cover etc....
My car has had a recent timing belt and tensioners so no need to hassle
this.
However - The car has 70Kmi and did not get a water pump during the belt
replacement.  Should I do this now?  How much additional work is this?
Thanks for all your wisdom.
Aaron
