P0346 :: Camshaft position sensor
Hi Folks!
My car will only shift once I let off the throttle. I'm getting a DTC P0346 :: Camshaft Position Sensor ”A” Circuit. Range/Performance (Bank 2). If I'm not mistaken, I believe there are 4 of these sensors. Can someone please tell me which one this is so I don't have to play guess and check. I have a 2005 A6 3.2L Q. Greatly appreciated. |
It's not a sensor problem, you're timing is off. Do you have rattle sound on cold start? misfires?

If you are getting diesel engine like sound at start and misfires, you most likely have a bad cam tensioner. I had similar symptoms and it ended up being the cam tesioner which is more common on earlier version of our cars.

There are four hydraulic control solenoids for camshaft adjustments (two for each bank). I would swap the bank 2 (driver side) solenoids, clear the fault code then go from there. You can see solenoids on engine valve covers at cylinder 3 and 6 areas.

You need to timing advance/retard...In VCDS-> Engine->Channel 93> Camshaft adjusters rotation angle should be between -10° to +10°, if more, you need to change 2 tensioners and 2 upper chains... P.s. in MY 2005-2006 it's common problem on 3.2FSI engine and 2.4 BDW (Europe). In MY2007 the tensioners were redesigned. |
You need to check numbers two times on Cold start and when engine is warm.
