2010 Jetta TDI, CJAA, 6speed manual, approx 47k miles
On my way to SLC for a ski trip, I don't bring any tools because this car is so new, I won't have problems, right?
Eventually get a limp mode and flashing glow plug light pulling past Moab. Initially I wig out thinking HPFP (with one of 2micron's kits sitting on the bench at home, haven't been able to install it yet), but VCDS (the one tool I brought) reporting
000833 Cam position sensor (G40)
P0341 -000- implausible signal
and 001601 sensor reference voltage A
P0641 -000- open circuit MIL ON
Copy and clear the code, all is good.
For about 200 miles.
Then it comes back. I cycle the key, car runs fine. For about 30 miles. Now it becomes persistant.. as soon as I clear the code and subsequently pass ~2k RPM, the code comes back. Car also runs rough when it isn't in full-on-limp-mode.
So.. has anyone had any issues with the G40 on a CR engine? I see lots of PD stuff but not much for the CR.
changing it looks like a complete pain in the ass.. requiring removal of the timing belt and accessory bracket/fuel pump. I don't see any obvious signs of chafing or anything.. even getting to the plug to check continuity will be a challenge.. I'm not yet sure, but I think it is buried down under the HP EGR valve.
Not having any tools with me, I may have to bring this to a guru in town.
And I haven't even been on the mountain yet.
The good news is it is drivable for now.. though I wouldn't want to go all the way back to austin with it like this..
Thanks a ton for any help
