P0341

[shaw]

2012 sportwagon TDI
Car starts a bit hard takes 5-10 seconds to start when cold.
Runs fine drive across country with it till you shut it off. When warm it starts and dies. It will do this 2-10 times, start and die and flashes the glow plug light. Initially thought it was an immobilizer issue so had that deleted. The scanned with VCDS and found the p0341 code for cam sensor. From what I've seen the sensors don't seem to fail, just what I read. So my question is can I pull the timing cover and change the sensor without removing the belt and pulley? Not much for videos on this or I would t be asking. Any advice would be appreciated

Sounds like your timing is off.. Has the timing belt been changed recently? Do you have vcds?

I have VCDS, belt was changed ~70k ago. Could just do the belt and sensor at that time which was my thought.

Can you explain a bit? Assuming you are referring to checking timing? Or maybe I'm wrong ...
