Hey i have simular problems , there is litlee shaking on red light in traffic and i cant start car imidetly it always start from second time , Diagnostic show me rich system fuel and camshaft sensor. Should that be a problem? Regards
I kind of feel the need to ask i got the polo 1 4 how similar are they on this bahalf? i mean the car looks very much alike just wondering if its the same position in my car
Salut... Superbe vidéo...et Jai une polo 5 60ch 1.0 mpi et en changeant les bougies j'ai cassé le capteur et le connecteur qui se trouve juste derrière le bouchon d'huile.. Impossible de savoir de quel capteur il s'agit (pression d'huile... Arbre à came.. Mph) je voudrais savoir si vous avez des lines pour changer cela et me dire quel est ce capteur (2pole)... Vraiment merci pour votre aide...
My partners polo is doing the same thing and brings on the traction control light? Do you have to clear the fault codes after changing the sensor as well?
HI, hopefully it works. Im from UK and get my parts from Euro Car Parts or look at Car Parts for Less. use the coupon codes that are always on the homepage
I know this video was from 4 years ago but on the off chance you see this message, did changing the sensor actually fix the problem? I've been doing research on this engine and it seems a common problem with this fault code is a problem with the timing chain, usually it stretches and jumps. I've bought exactly the same car as my first car and have the same fault code. I've recently changed the sensor following this video and am praying this fixes it. If not then it will most likely be a timing fault which costs a lot to fix. I'd like to know if you also had a timing issue.
Hi mate, I have EPC light on only when i turn AC on...sure the engine goes bad and lose power while EPC light on... ( VW polo 2001, 1.4 engine)... What should i do?
Buongiorno, vorrei un informazione posseggo una pegeout 208 benzina e gpl casa madre, mi è capitato che dopo aver trascorso circa 150km a GPL mi sono fermato per delle commissioni e dopo circa un ora sono ripartito ma l'auto non commuta a GPL , in pratica la lucina del segnalino rimane rossa fissa e nel quadro mi è comparsa la spia motore e rimane accesa, ho provato a vedere inserendo ODB mi da questo errore, ho provato a toglierlo ma dopo poco mi ricompare e comunque non funziona il gpl, errore P0342 mi dice che dovrebbe essere il sensore albero a camme vorrei provare a pulirlo o a sostituirlo ma non so dove si trova, se ti invio una foto puoi indicarmi dove si trova, se quello è il problema? grazie.
I have both codes on my polo as you in this video, did it fix the P0172 also if not what is the possible fix, I will try fixing P0341 with new sensor. I dont feel any problems while driving for now everything seems fine, it only suffers a bit on startup, and few days ago 1-2 mins after a cold startup I got temperature warning light on but somehow fixed itself by me turning the engine off and on again. Thanks. (bad english sorry)
Is there a way to know if the old sensor is broke? Like before I order a new one I want to know that it is that sensor that is causing my cars problems. Like it won’t accelerate past a certain point until I switch gears. The revs go up and down and it cuts off a lot especially while in traffic etc
did you replace it with oem or a eurocarpart compatable, I've got the same issue just now, had timing chain done around 2k ago,eml was on prior does anyone know how to test actual sensor is it resistance, continuity.... that way we could save time and money
Yes I bought from ECP. It was a Bougicord branded part which i believe was oem as they scratched out what looked like a vw logo on it. Anyway it worked fine. You could unplug it, drive it and if nothing changes its probably is the sensor?
Hi dont know if you can help but have a hiccuping issue with my 02 polo changed coil packs and plugs cleaned map sensor had pressure tests done used a fuel cleaner and had injectors checked code p0172 came up prior to doing all this and all to no avail. Any ideas as to what to try next? Could it be the coolant or mad sensor but no codes showing on vag machine now am at a loss and so is the garage I went to told me to drive it into the ground and get a new car cheeky sods
@@messedupmechanic3607 basically it stutters under load its like it has less power under acceleration so to try to compensate and sort of hiccups difficult to explain but like a momentary loss of power then picks back up again like I said have cleaned lots of sensors replaced coil and spark plugs exhaust seems ok so at a dead end. Thanks for the response
sounds like you changed alot of parts. When it was in the garage did they check timing? I know these polos sometimes have a problem with timing chain slack, but the problem with that is its expensive to fix. It is a known problem with this era polo
@@messedupmechanic3607 yeah they checked the timing and all ok did take it to a gy who did a software update on the ecu and running better but still has a slight hesitation when putting foot down dont think I'll solve this mystery lol
My Polo is giving me same fault code 16272 "Camshaft position sensor (G40) signal to high" so I just replaced the Cam sensor but the fault is still there. Also noticed that when the AC is on the car shuts down...... Can anyone suggest me anything else? By the way the new sensor is OEM.
hmm, could be a timing issue. The ac doesnt seem connected, if you can visually see the ac compressor in the engine bay, you should have someone turn ac on when the car is running and watch it to see if it has ceased.
Hi, could this cause my engine to misfire as im getting the P0342 reading and also the P0303 reading that is misfire in 3rd cylinder, Could the misfire stop if the camshaft position sensor gets fixed?
Messed Up Mechanic no, it intermittently does it and I haven't had the chance to get a compression test on it yet. I just thought maybe if I replace the sensor then the misfire will not occur. The misfire usually occurs from stand still going into first after a few miles of driving but it's never consistent
If it is intermittent it may be the sensor. I would try and unplug the electrical connector for the sensor and drive it. If problem persists all the time it would likely be the sensor
A me sulla seat ibiza TDI , perde la pompa dell acqua , se l acqua va a finire vicino il sensore giri , e' possibile che si spegne il motore? Anche l avviamento del motore e' difficiltoso , in diagnosi dà sensore albero a camme, ma sil cruscotto non accende nessuna spia di guasto
I still don’t understand. So if you take the sensor out and apply some oil on the o ring and then put it back on it will sort the problem. Cos that’s all you did in the video
2023 and I have this problem for two years. Finally I find my answer. Thank you🎉
Top tutorial, you made it very simple to understand & replace. I'll look out for your videos. Many thx. Renga
Thank you for sharing, well done. GOD Bless all...Balan Govender, Durban South Africa
That's a good one, thanks, I had the same problem in my 2litre vw polo.
I had the same problem and I did wat u showed me and it fixed my problem thank you soo much! 😊

Good clear vid Thanks for posting!

Thank you very helpful - what about if you can see that the wire to the sensor are damaged?
fix them as more likely reason why it fails if not connected properly due to damaged wires or connector

Got the same symptoms, obd port not working, don't know where to start
Keile go bosswak bra Ama aka Albino🙌🏾🙌🏾
I have the top code po172 with rough idle and misfire any idea what it could be?
Great tutorial 👍
Thanks dude :)
Top work pal!
Thanks man. These are the exact problems I get with my Polo. How much did the replacement sensor cost?
you dont need a original maybe 20 euro
Thank's man, for this precious information.
Hey bra my polo BLM engine has got hard start and problem of idling so what must I do
My partners polo is doing the same thing and brings on the traction control light? Do you have to clear the fault codes after changing the sensor as well?
Probably mate
How about for VW Polo CBZ engine.. locatiin
i got a polo 2004 9n is thit the same becouse i have a larger motor
So this sensor can cause a hard start
Plz make a video to removal of crankshaft sensor on vw polo
NICE VIDEO CAN YOUR SHOW HOW TO REMOVE THE MAP SENSOR FOR VW POLO 1.6 16V HATCHBACK AUTOMATIC
I have the same car with a P0322
Got the exact problem!! Thanks for the video btw where did you get the new sensor from?
HI, hopefully it works. Im from UK and get my parts from Euro Car Parts or look at Car Parts for Less. use the coupon codes that are always on the homepage
The BTS engine has two of these sensors connected to the camshaft. So I would like to know, do I change both sensors or just one?
Anyone know how to stop the awful oil leak on these? Mine has always got a bad idle and has had misfiring coil packs too
Have to reset?

Having the same issue, any updates?

Carry on the work well done
How to locate the Crankshaft position sensor on VW Polo 6N? Thanks
Sorry, cant help you with that.....im not familiar with polo engines before 2002. The 6n engine is somewhat different to late models

it did fix the problem for me. You can try and unplug the sensor and try and drive with no sensor, see if anything changes?
Well Done!👍
My car there is a triang light in desh board so no rev count and accalarater

Yes these cars are getting old now. If you can live with it its probably best. Maybe change the fuel filter on the next service.

misfiring as in you are completely down to 2 cylinders?
