Jon_vr6 1 Posted January 26, 2012 Ive not removed the right hand side engine cover before (above the coilpack) does it just pull off once you have removed the HT leads?? Cheers Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moneypit23 0 Posted January 26, 2012 If its that cracked bit it'll probably just fall off x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Pull ignition leads off the coil pack. 3 star key head bolts, two top left on main engine cover, one on the back face, left side. Pull side cover out between the throttle cable etc. after initally lifting over the securing threaded studs where the star bolts are located. Undo 4 allen key head bolts to free the coil pack. Cam pos. sensor is there in front of you. Undo the holding bolt. Extract the sensor making sure the plastic collar comes with it. Reverse is as they say...... VCDS Clear the fault in the engine ECU. Take for a drive and at least one touch the red line engine RPM to make sure the new sensor works all the way. Recheck VCDS to make sure no fault code has returned. Job done .

Jon_vr6 1 Posted January 26, 2012 Cheers chris, so theres bolts holding the right coil pack cover down? i thought it just clipped on somehow...can i not just remove the coilpack cover on its own without removing the other ht lead guides? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) The two "on-top" bolts are in the ignition lead channels front & back. Yes they do "normally" hold the coil pack cover down unless MP knows otherwise. Not the rectangular flat top cover itself. You'll see the star heads if you look between the ignition leads as they come onto the channels front & back, just by the joint of the coil pack cover to the main cover. The main HT leads channels do not need to be removed, nor do the ignition leads other than to part them to get at the star head bolts. And I forgot, the vacuum pipe from the inlet manfold needs to be untangled from the edge of the coil pack cover. No need to disconnect this, it should just move out of the way once the pipe is out of the cup mounting point in the coil pack cover. ---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ---------- Tightening Torques: Star bolts - 5Nm Allen Key bolts - 10Nm Cam Shaft Sensor bolt - 10Nm .

Jon_vr6 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Did the job on Saturday, only problem we came across was not having the correct socket to undo the bolts on top of the cover, turns out they are triple square bolts, quick trip to B&Q and armed with the right socket everything went fine. Cleared Vag com fault and GF's car was back to being the silent assassin again. Cheers for the help Chris Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
