chief ka kar 0 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Had the same problem on my wifes mk3 golf gti. The garage had no clue without charging me big money to look into. I found the problem was the maf sensor. I unplugged it took it for a drive and the car ran alot better. So i knew it was that . You can try it and it wont cost you a penny. You never know ?

kebster 0 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have a cam sensor off a 2.9 raddo got it off ebay used but good the fella bought it but the new one made no change so i got his old 1 as a spare. It turned out to be a relay for the ecu Link to post Share on other sites

russj249 2 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 where is the sensor and how do you remove it/clean it? Pic?Cam position sensor is on the gearbox side of the engine. On the end plates that cover the timing chains. You'll see a little plastic thing sticking through the metal casings, with a plug on it, also it's help onto the casings with just 1 allen key.As you look at end casings for engine (by coilpack or dizzy) it'll be on the top and towards the back of the car as shown in this picture. On the top right.http://www.agthompsonfamily.com/vw/TimingChain13.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
