Hi all,

I joined recently so can't post on the technical help forum.....

My 2001 Octavia VRS wouldn't start yesterday and when it did, the engine management light came on. The car was running badly, but luckily I just mooched home. I called the AA and he plugged in his diagnostic tool which came back with the fault code P0322.

The AA man said that this doesn't tell him enough to find a fault - only that it could be anything in the ignition / distributor (doesn't have one) or engine speed (crabk position maybe?)

I need to get to work but really can't afford to take the car to VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat who charge hundreds just to diagnose the fault.

Has anyone got any ideas what I can do or what the fault is????

Thanks in advance for the help.

Check or replace the sensor and it should be fine

Brilliant - thank you Rob.

So where would I find this sensor? How do I replace it?

Hi and welcome aboard.

ebay, dealer etc

Great - thanks for the help.

It was the crankshaft position sensor. GSF wanted £55, CAF wanted £35 - deal!!

Really tricky to get at it and replace it, but done now and car is running fine.
