S4/6 cam sensors

[Neil Swanson <75377.3445@compuserve.com>]

We've done them,


In the last 1.5 yrs we've done 2 at the shop.  Neither car had a start
problem of any kind but would light the check engine light and leave a code
for the sensor on the 1551 print out.  Also both would throw the code again
after cleared and driving.  The sensor is $$$$$ and the install on both
cars included a t-belt and water pump.

I would think if you have a problem with the sensor you should have the
code too.  we have

We have another S6 returning with a hot start problem.  After a drive and
within 45 mins or so the car will crank but not start.  The car has no
engine light on and no codes.  Another shop put in a power module for the
spark.  We put in a crank sensor, we did have a code for it once and even
though when cleared it did not reappear the owner decided to put in the
part anyway.  I got a call and the no start reappeared.  I see the car
friday.  I'm hoping for a code.  I don't like selling the guy parts for no
reason.  And in the 48hrs we had the car it always started.  I wish it
wouldn't.

I'll let you guys know what we turn up
