Default Cel codes

Well lets see if someone can help me.I have a 2001 a4 v6,5 spd .we owned for about 6 months,In may it came on then stayed off till About a month ago I got a code p1392 again,camshaft sensor bank 2,If I clear it the code stays off for a day or so.It seems to come on when I'm starting car, I can drive for a hundred miles without cel coming on.I have check hareness ,connectors.
The car runs great no miss or hesitation even with code on but we clear codes with a reader.It doesn't come on all the time but almost every other day.I ordered a replacement (sensor),am going to install it when it arrives.Now today a code p1411 come up.I just cant figure whats going on with this car ..any help would be great.

My guess would be that it's not "off" enough to be constant. There's something off just enough to throw the code when you turn it on but not so off that it stays on forever. Hopefully the sensor fixes it.

p1411 is something different. vacuum leak it appears. Check all your vacuum lines and if not make sure your air pump comes on for a minute when you turn the car on.

Well its been 2 days with no cel light on at all. someone suggested that there is a plastic timing guide ,and if that broke it would through a code for sensor(1392)but if so wouldn't it come on everytime Idrove car?I thought I read some where on the forum that it could be something with the starter.I have look at all conection,hoses, I just at a loss.REALLY DONT WANT TO GO TO THE DEALER. The camshaft sensor will be here sat.hopefully.
