I had a new camshaft sensor fitted on my Fabia 2004 VRS a few ago. But the last few weeks I've had a problem. It seems when the cars been stood for a few days., it turns over more than usual before starting. Then after a few yards it cuts out. It always starts up again. It only does it now and then. Anyway yesterday,I did a scan and it came up with the same camshaft fault again. (Camshaft Position Sensor P3007 No Signal - Intermittent & Camshaft Position Sensor  P0341 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent). Today, it start straight away and no cutting out.

 

Any ideas ??

 

Cheers.

I wondered the same thing, ECP for example do sell some cheap rubbish now and I would go for genuine sensor if possible.

I did the exact same with the same symptoms that's all. Replaced with a genuine sensor and happy days...

If it was the sensor, would it do it more often though ?

Temperature can affect cheap sensors so depends what type of day it is, if the engine has been running, how longs it's been standing etc etc

Don't take my word on it though, see what other people suggest also

I have found out from my mechanic, it is genuine sensor..

Have all the faults been cleared and camshaft sensor fault still comes back?

When that happens imo it's either...

- The timing have slipped / jumped a tooth

- The sensor is faulty

- a wiring fault

I had the same problem recently and in the end I decided the wiring loom was broken down somewhere. Replaced the wiring from sensor to behind the dash under the scuttle panel. All is fixed. Sounds hard but it's easy as wires colour coded
