Hey guys, Got a skoda octavia that I have replaced the engine in and now it wont start, It did initially fire up but cut out, Sounded good when I first fired it up but cannot get it to start now, It comes up with all 4 glow plugs having an issue and a camshaft sensor error as well, replaced the cam sensor, tried fiddling about with the timing using the tools, turns over no problem but wont fire, Fuel appears to be coming up to the filter and it runs on easy start, I used autodata for the timing marks/pins and also the timing tools, I have also tried to advance/retard the timing but still no joy....At the end of my teather with it now, and also the cam sensor fault still appearing.

Cheers

Iain

Did you check the injector loom, is there fuel coming to the injectors? What are you scanning it with, can you post the codes?

Its being scanned with a Snap on solus machine, have now changed the injectors, checked the timing again and its still the same, someone has advised me to change the cam pulley over as it may be faulty throwing the cam sensor out of line. This is the code that is coming up: - P0341 - Camshaft position sensor A, Bank 1 - Range/performance problem, Autodata suggests to check insecure sensor / rotar, air gap, wiring or the sensor itself, Its now had 3 sensors, the one from the original engine, the one from this engine and a new one as well. HELP!!!!

If you're getting cam error it's likely a timing issue. Have you 100% confirmed this is bang on?
