Camshaft Sensor probelms

[Stinca]

Problem sorted.

My fitting of new ignition leads caused the problem. I didn't tuck one of the leads into the clip array, and was resting on the cam sensor wire. The electrical pulses on the ignition lead obviously interfered with the cam sensor wire. Something I didn't realise.

Now tucked in properly, the car is good

Hi Guys,

Am new to the forum. However need some help ( Audi S3 Year 2014 )

Having Fault Code
P138800 CTRL MODULE FAULTY
P11A200 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'A' CYLINDER 1
P11AA00 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'A' CYLINDER 3
P11AE00 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'A' CYLINDER 4
P11A600 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'A' CYLINDER 2
P11A400 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'B' CYLINDER 1
P11AC00 CAMSHIFT ACTUATOR 'B' CYLINDER 3

Already Check the values from the Camshift and they are all giving the same values.
Checked the Wiring from the Camshift to the ECU plugs and there is continuity.

The Car been sitting for 2 months during the confiment period and drove 1 day without any problem but the issue came on the next day after a 'pop' from the exhaust.

Any suggestion, please help . ThanksIMG_0279.jpg

There are to many 00's in those error codes.

You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing and check systems out.

What is strange is that I cannot get Values from live data on the diagnostic. It’s like the ecu is not receiving a particular signal.

We need a proper VAG specific code read scan posting properly preferably using VCDS but the first thing I would check with all these codes is take the sump off and check for oil pump pickup contamination.

Can you explain me more what does this message means of @Stinca please? It is wiring probleme? Cuz i have the same probleme. This is his message (My fitting of new ignition leads caused the problem.
