17748/P1340/004928 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) / Engine Speed Sensor (G28): Incor. Correlation

Possible Causes

  • Timing Belt/Chain incorrectly installed
  • Timing Chain probably lengthened
  • Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) faulty
  • Engine Speed Sensor (G28) faulty

Possible Solutions

  • Check Timing Belt/Chain installation
  • Use Measuring Value Blocks (MVB) to Check Timing Chain
  • Check/Replace Camshaft Position Sensor (G40)
  • Check/Replace Engine Speed Sensor (G28)

Id take a guess at one of the sensors. You can check the G40 sensor but unplugging it and putting a multimeter on the connectors. Its either resistance related to engine speed or its phonetic so will give off a voltage. Set it to measure resistance and see if it changes resistance when you accelerate. or set it to DC voltage and see if it increases voltage when you accelerate.

Hope that helps, replied to to your PM too B)
