17942 / P1534 = Intake Camshaft Contr.Circ.,Bank2 Short to B+

16825 / P0441 = EVAP Emission Contr.Sys.Incorrect Purge Flow

I would start by checking the connector make sure that there is no exposed wires, etc. Or could be a bad sensor.

But before starting to change things, I always reset the light and see if it comes back on.

Second, wait for s4master1 to chime in, he knows something about Audis.....

The check engine light came back on this morning. I scanned and got the camshaft timing again.

Where do I check for loose wiring or the camshaft sensor?

Default Actuator

The fault specifies adjustment actuator.
before you disconnect anything run output test in the system, you should hear the actuator click on and off.
if it doesn't click it may be dead or no voltage gets to it, at that point check for voltage, it should have battery voltage with the ignition on and while the engine is running the ecm controls it thru the ground side.

I picked up a camshaft sensor last week. If its not that bad to change out, I would like to change it out myself. Do anyone have a precedure for this?
