Hello fellow Škoda lovers!

 

I just bought a 2001 1.4 MPi 8v with almost 200,000km Fabia and it is triggering Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) Signal too low DTC, I bought a new OEM sensor and fitted it, but the car is still returning the same error. I checked the voltages from the wiring loom as suggested by this site http://workshop-manuals.com/skoda/fabia-mk1/engine/1.9/96_tdi_engine_fuel_injection/fuel_preparation_system_diesel_injection/testing_components/inspecting_the__camshaft_position_sensor_g40/ and confirmed that they are correct. What should I check next?

 

I also noticed a poor MPG (low 20's combined), do you guys think this might be related?

 

Lastly, I'm from the Dominican Republic, and for some reason, the packages that I order from Europe (eBay, amazon) never seem to arrive, so my question is, Will a lambda sensor from another American VAG car (maybe the Golf?) fit on my Fabia? if so, how about interior bits? like shift knobs, seats etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

Greg,

 

Check the fuses anything to do with the engine.  If one has blown, then it may be caused by a heater that is in a breather pipe between the crankcase to the air box.  Disconnect it, replace the fuse.

Hi Steve,

 

All the fuses are good except a blown one for my fog lights (I thought I had to replace the bulbs but they are working now, so thanks!). Any other ideas? this car has been through a beating apparently, the previous owner didn't even changed the air filter

 

Thanks,

Greg,

 

What code(s) are you getting when you scan the ecu?
