Mnahoor Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi all I bought a mondeo mk4 1.8tdci manual It's a non runner Maybe I was foolish buying this car as it doesn't start at all. When I scanned it it comes up with camshaft position sensor P0341 Question is where is the sensor on the engine? When turning the car over it sounds like no compression does that mean timing belt has gone and time to get a new engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam49 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't know on the mk4, but on tne mk3, if it comes up with that error code, and it's NOT the sensor, then it's trouble with broken cam carrier and valves. Why not look on youtube for can sensor position? There's a common fault with the cam shaft..sonething to do with the woodruff key... something like that. I'll do some digging as it's round the corner of my memory...🤔 Here, look at this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnahoor Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Also does anyone know where the camshaft sensor is on the 1.8tdci engine? I've searched all over the net and can't seem to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicam49 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Yeah, not surprised, it's the 1st thing anyone would change anyway, given the fault code. Take the rocker cover off and look for any loose bolts on the rocker, cradle damage, etc Oh, and did you fit the sensor far enough in the hole...all the way in then back it off slightly?

Mnahoor Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 I haven't taken the cover off to have a look so I will do that. Yes I did put the sensor all the way in and back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
