NickVR6 0 Posted May 9, 2005 Hav'nt fitted new wheels have you, wierd question i know. I had the same thing, but had just fitted 17s. Wheel weights flew off on my way back from the inters so i put the old speedlines back on the front today for the run to work. holy smoke did it feel quicker again! I think its the slight over size rolling radius, plus the extra wheel weight for inertia. Still feel like getting my cam sensor/s checked though. Allways nice to plug her in and see if anything comes up. Nobody round my way with vag com though, boo hoo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RW1 0 Posted May 12, 2005 It's only on later VR6 engines with a coil pack. Nearside top side cover of the camshaft cover. You may need to take more of the surrounding top engine cover panels off. A star key drive needed to take out the bolts or improvise. To physically get it out, the coil pack needs to be out of the way, allen key head bolts hold the pack in. 3 wire connector. Who ever is changing it. The limp home mode (retarded ignition timing) and lower rev limiter setting will not clear until the fault code 00515 is cleared out of the engine ECU.

corradovr6sc 0 Posted May 12, 2005 I'm pretty sure you don't have to remove the coilpack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted May 17, 2005 just ordered one from my local stealers, but they say its not called a camshaft sensor on there system, but its called an impulse sender, is that right?? or have they got the wrong item?? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted May 17, 2005 I think that's right. Just make sure it's the £30 impulse sender they get you, not the £140 one... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
