Could be also wiring or ECU fault, possibly moisture got in and corroded contacts or caused short circuit in the plugs somewhere.

What are the actual fault codes, are they saying:
1.Implausible signal;
2.Short to earth;
3.Open circuit or short to positive;
4. Wrong allocation

I have attached pdf about testing camshaft position senders.
Thanks Ainars, The fault code from my first scan were for multiple mis-firing which, according to rosstech wiki include Camshaft Sensors amongst other potential causes such as fuel supply, coils etc . Unfortunately I have not been able to get the engine to run since to delve any deeper using VCDS so I cannot be certain that it is the sensors. I am therefore faced with trying to fault find everyone of the potential causes.....
