Sorry, my bad. Autocorrect is messing with me.

It is the camshaft sensor that was replaced like I wrote in the initial post.

Ignore the crankshaft-thing.

The error code still says error on camshaft sensor reading.

Just in case anyone has the same issue sometime I will give a quick summary of what has happened after my last post:

I had a mechanic take a look at the car yesterday. I had pre-ordered a new chain-kit as i assumed this was the problem. The kit contains a chain, gears, tensioner, gaskets and motor-oil.

I asked the mechanic to diagnose the problem before just replacing parts - no need to waste more money than necessary. He found that the chain locking tool could not be inserted properly, which means that there was a misalignment between the camshaft, crankshaft and some pump (??).

He replaced the chain and noticed that the old chain was stretched a bit. It was not stretched enough to rattle but just enough to mess with the timing.

I picked up the car this morning and drove about 15 km - everything seems to be OK. In the next days I will test the car and see if everything got fixed with the new kit. The mechanic offered to read the faultcodes in about a month to see if everything is in order. Good service.

The total cost was 6200 DKKR / 750£ / 830€ - and hopefully there won't be anymore like this in the near future.

 

Thank you everyone for your input - it has been helpful (and confusing)

Thanks for letting us know the outcome.
