Audi Repair: vw passat, vw passat, cam sensor

Question
i have a 99 vw passat 1.8 turbo. it wont start. it was running poorly for a day or to and accelerated slower than normal, then wouldnt start at all. error code p1338

Answer
hello
P1338 is for Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor -G40- Open circuit/short circuit to Ground. I had the same fault on my fathers A6 and new cam sensor fixed the problem. So ,, I will just start with new sensor. It's right on the front of the engine, very easy to replace.
good luck   Greg
