  1. @TeebsVRS You've explained exactly what's happening to my 2016 VRS at the moment! It's doing my head in! Initially, it started with P0340 - camshaft position sensor A circuit bank 1 or single sensor and P0341 - camshaft position sensor A circuit range/performance bank 1 or single sensor I then replaced the camshaft sensor and it was alright for a while, then after a week i got P001600 - Crankshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor A P034100 - Camshaft pos sensor circ range/performance My main concern was thinking it was timing chain since both sensors are unlikely to go bad at the same time, so i pulled the timing cover off and checked it all, seemed ok.. Cleaned the cam timing actuators while i had them out as they were a bit sticky. I bought a crankshaft sensor but when it arrived it was too much of a PITA to install so figured i'd see how it goes. Then that's when the temperature issues started, randomly jumping up to 130deg and alarm bells ringing, then going straight back to 90deg... Then the following faults appeared and that's how it is now... P168C00 - Oil pressure switch 3 implausible signal during engine operation P168B00 - Oil pressure switch 3 implausible signal during engine stand still P042000 - Catalyst system, bank1 efficiency below threshold B1 0E7F0 - Distance regulation separated I'm so bloody stuck... I can't even get a good manual or description of where the bloody sensors are! I'm REALLLLY interested to see what the result for your issue is as i'm betting it's a similar issue and would rather not spent $10k on dealer misdiagnosing..
