Camshaft Sensor??
Hey... first off I just want to say that audi is one of the worest cars I ever owned in my life. Within the last 8 months, I`ve spent over $4500 on repairs, not counting rentals and days missed from work. I have a 2001 A4 Quattro with 70K. So here is the list this P.O.S
cost me,
New Turbo $650
New Mass Air Sensor $120
New Camshaft Sensor $80
Engine Rebuild ( Timing Belt Snapped @ 62 K) $2800
New Water Pump $140
Rear Bearings $400
I must say, I will never ever!!!!! buy another audi or recommed it to my friends.
Besides my bitching, I do have a question.... sorry audi fans.
I went to my machinic for a Check Eng L. It was check out and it was code
17748
P1340
Crankshaft-/Camshaft Pos.Sens.Signals Out of Sequence
So I went ahead and got another one just to be on the safe side. It was installed and car drove like new. But a day later the C.E.L went on again for the same reason?? Does the Cam Sensor have to be set or aligned? Any ideas?

well if u changed ur tb when u were suposed to at 60k u would have saved 2800. y did they turbo go, did u have oil sludge, do u use synthetic oil. and dont worry about the MAF im on my 7th one. audis are fine cars u just have to make sure u keep up on the mantinance.

The car was inspected by my dealer and said I didnt need one until 80K service. thats why I never changed it. I never got an explaination for the turbo, but it smoked like crazy. And I only use synthic mobil one oil. I dont wait till 10 k. I have it done ever 5-7k.

The dealer was Paul Miller IN NJ..... These ***** got me in the past so bad I felt like a moron. I went in for a rapid blinker on a turning signal and was told I need to replace the signal mod. $265... like a rookie not knowing better to check the internet I did so. Then when I went to a privet mach, he told me it was a freak light bulb.... well u do the math... $4.00 Vs $265.00... ***********..
