[s-cars] Cam Position Sensor (G40 Hall Sender) Replacement mit foto

[Dave Forgie]

Okay, I lie. Its a just diagram that I posted on AudiWorld so I could refer to it here. At least you can see where the thing is located, bless its little fridge magnet heart.

Obviously to replace this expensive little begger, you need to find it at the least cost (Tony Curran where are you??). Then you need to take as many things off the front of the engine as required to get at the cam belt cover and the tensioner.  If you are clever, you can zap-strap the belt to the cam pulley and keep the tension on it slightly so you can a) slide the cam and the belt off the exhaust cam as one unit and b) avoid having to totally replace the cam belt (which is a good idea if its almost due anyway).  Be aware that the cam sprocket has a cast "key" and if you brutalize it with something like an air rachet, you might just snap the key off the sprocket - then you are looking at a new sprocket and probably a belt replacment - unless you suddenly get clever again.

Others can add comments and/or correct me, as required.

Ron/dooksniffer (whatever THAT is!), hope this helps.
