alip_corrado 0 Posted August 27, 2011 Hi all, My VR6 C is running really lumpy, like a tractor and the whole car vibrates like mad for most of the rev range and is very low on power. Tried changing, coilpack, plugs and leads to no avail. Got hold of a vag-com and it reported faults: 00515 - Camshaft Position (Hall) Sensor (G40) 30-00 - open or short to B+ 00513 - Shareware Version. To Decode all DTCs 03-00 - Please Register/Activate Has anyone changed this sensor before? Is it a right bugger? Or not to difficult? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted August 27, 2011 Ignore 00513. You must had only the ignition on, engine stopped. - Ignition leads off, plug caps & coil pack ends. - Engine top cover off and left side cover above the coil pack. - Undo the two bolts & connector for the Coil Pack and take off out of the way. - Its on the side face on the rear end at the camshaft level by the Aux. Water Pump. Disconnect the connector and undo the fixing bolt. Pull out and make sure the seal surround as on the replacement comes with it. - Refit the new sensor and tighten the fixing bolt (10 Nm, 7 ft. lb..) - Refit the coil pack and its bolts, reconnect the connector (10 Nm, 7 ft. lb.) - Refit the engine top and LH side covers - Refit and reconnect the ignition leads - Remove the entry 00515 code from the ECU fault code memory or the the ECU will continue to run in Limp Home Mode. Job done - 0.75 hours. Easy! Drive and when warm, rev it to the red line once. Stop and recheck the 00515 fault has not re-appeared. Clear? Fault fixed. No? new Camshaft sensor is faulty. .
