P1534 - 001 - short to plus - MIL ON (N208)
Alright so i can to clearing codes and had full performance for the W12. Then i forgot to knock on wood because i got the code P1534 for cam adjuster on bank 2. Looking on ross tech when code searched it had said possible symptoms was wiring or N208 adjuster. Either way while driving when engine warms up i feel the low rpm and acceleration it slowly gets to 2000rpm before shifting and the shifting is smooth just slow acceleration not how the W12 should be, but when it warms up to temp it seems like the slow acceleration goes away and if i press the gas hard enough it will go over 2000rpm and shift smooth. Then like i said it will not go past 2000rpm no matter how hard i push on the pedal while its cold and no freeze frame data had shown when fault showed up even when i did a full scan or just the scan on the engine so thats why no freeze frame data will be shown. I believe it is a wiring issue so i will start with that because when i did the temp sensor a few harnesses broke so i will double check and make sure the outside harnesses for the inlet and outlet cam adjusters are ok, but would like some others opinions.

If you have codes clear, then it should run normally. When it gets those codes (at least by time a CEL comes on), engine ECU's go into a protective mode and cut way back on valve timing and probably ignition advance.
I can't tell from the post if codes were clear during sub-par driving experience. Either way, bite the bullet and replace cam sensor and wiring. Once you are in there for wiring, sensor is little more work. Get the Bosch OES sensor for a lot fewer dollars than same from Audi. Confirm #, but should be here for $56: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=7192&jsn=433 Get connector end and some splice in terminal jumpers from Audi dealer, plus the shrink wrap solder type connectors to join to clean part of harness,. Alternately if terminal ends themselves okay and wire not frayed (even if insulation is toast), smash existing connector with pliers--it will shatter with pressure--and extract intact wiring pins. Then heat shrink cover the conductors and mount them in the replacement hard plastic connector from Audi dealer. Seach on prior posts for more info if needed.
