hello ,
I took my 2001 mk2.5 for a quick drive on thursday,. After about 15-20mins it cut out and would nt restart. I t cranked fine just didn't fire
AA came out recovered back to my home. The AA man reckoned it was he crank angle/position sensor.
He checked the OBD2 and there are no stored codes.
I have ordered coil packs, Cam angle sensor and crank angle sensors from Autolink.
How do I check which is at fault ?
any idea why ODB2 has no stored fault code ?

Does it have an immobiliser? If you've already ordered all the other potential guilty items, change them one by one and try starting after each one is fitted lol

I think is has an immobilizer. The car started when it cooled down and I was able to drive it home with the AA man following.
that is when we checked the ODB2
The issue only seems to appear when the car is up to temp.
I could try fitting the parts one by one starting with the crank sensor, though it looks a bit of fiddle for someone of my low skill

I gather the crank angle sensor is the usual suspect for those symptoms (though I haven't owned an NB). Fitting the sensor seems just to be a single bolt, and you just have to set it the right distance away from the 6 teeth on the crank timing plate. I think the spec is 1mm but people set it to the thickness of a credit card, for which you can handily use a credit card.

The crank angle sensor has been replaced, I completed in an autoslo at the weekend and it all seemed fine. Engine Management light came on on the way home, was too knackered to look in to it . probably something else :-)

this sounds surprisingly like the CAS sensor issue that Nick (Skuzzle) told me of. you get the car warm and then it it shows up. It's not the sensor that fails but the wheel that the sensor reads off getting warm enough to come lose on the cam, sending the readings off.
