I have recently had the cam timing belt changed on my 2001 130BHP TDI PD Bora (called Jetta mk4 in US I think) at an independent (read non-VW) garage, however, I have since learnt that they did not have the proper VW tools, VAG-com, etc.
I spent quite a bit of time last week reading TDIClub forums and realise now that this job should probably have been done by the dealership. In order to find out a little more I have got hold of the demo version of VAG-COM and checked the DTC fault codes. Sure enough I have the following error...
19464 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40): Signal Out of Range
P3008 - 00-00 - -
How worried should I be? The engine seems to be running just as it did before the belt was changed, fuel economy doesn't seem to have been affected. However, I am concerned about longer term problems.
I would welcome any advice about how difficult it is to resolve this problem and where I go from here. Does the error code unequivacally indicate that the mechanical timing has not been set correctly by the garage, or could it be simply that they forgot to plug in the sensor.
I know that I messed up /images/graemlins/frown.gif, so constructive comments would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
laser
