You mean the cam position sensor?
I replaced the dephaser, and had both pulleys loose to aid with belt fitting - there was no woodruff key so not sure they could be out of sync? Cams were obv locked
Ooookay, so I did the belts on my PH1 and checked and rechecked the timing - all good
Build it up and it won't start, unless I press the accelerator
Got it going, and all seemed well (ran it for about 30 secs) so turned it off and left it for a week
Come to it tonight, and its hunting -...
Well i had the bumper off anyway to check the os wing
I also had arch liner removed, think u need this so you can thread a long extension through a hole to get the 13mm for the lower idler out
I've just done full belts on my ph1, I had os headlight out and I'm pretty sure it helped
Def only a sat morning job, I'd say a competent techy could do it in under an hr - couple of E-torx bolts and a 3/8 drive ratchet/bar to de tension it to get the belt on
The belt is tight!
As stated get...

Re: Making The Sun Shine Again - PH1 Sunflower
Ok so sorry for no updates, ive not had the resources to upload photos - laptop is away having full VAG diagnostics put on (available for work if anyone requires me)

Is there a guide for this, or a list of what parts are needed or need to be modified?
Doesn't fit right right on the edges, and was stuck on with...
The fan unit? Makes sense with it lasting 10 seconds every 60 or so when warm
Does the car have air conditioning? If so, might be low on gas and fans are cutting in and out
Ok so i thought id start abit of a progress thread, so here goes!
I currently drive a remapped Audi A1 Black Edition, but this is going back in April, and my new A3 Sportback isnt due until September. I lease these via work, and my plan is to have an new Audi from Sept to end of Feb, then run a...
Yea doin them myself, look abit tighter than the Audis I work on everyday, but one of the lads did a 182 belt the other month so has the tools and instructions etc
Cheers guys, a little clearer now - its funny to see it with the flocked dash and steering wheel, i presume this is why it now has a non sport one and also the standard dash is in
That martysph1 comfirms in one of his posts thats it been RS Tuned so it pops and bangs - ive yet to find this out...
Was reading back the threads on the suspected 2nd Owner - Missing Link
Mentions an LSD a few times then before that an engine transplant, then before that he says its blue so unsure its same car...
Well ive put a new battery on so it now starts and runs. Its running like its cammed though, bit lumpy, nothing to worry about
Belts due last yr - only 20k since last done 6 yrs ago though going off history. Not bothered as was always gonna do the belts on whatever i bought
Paintwise appears...
