For the last few weeks the A6 had been acting up with surging idle speed and poor economy and pickup. I scanned the car a month or so back and it had a cam position sensor fault with misfires being reported on bank 1.

Last week a replacement sensor was ordered from ebay, and I installed it today. Engine now runs as sweet as a nut, smoother than he has ever known.

Has the infamous cat efficiency below threshold on banks 1 and 2, and apart from that no mechanical faults.

Only other issues found in a scan was the alarm horn does not work, and the passenger front door does not deadlock.
