How does DME work on VW Jetta Mk4?

Based on the position of this plug on the flywheel (typically Top Dead Center (TDC) on cylinder number one), the DME can divide the signal by four and thus have the correct timing for each cylinder in the AVH 2.0 engine.

Are there any problems with the 2.0T TSI engine?

While we like to say that every engine is generally reliable when properly taken care of, the 2.0T TSI engines do have a laundry list of known common problems. While this list may be daunting, most of these issues are common across all German, turbocharged vehicles from our experience, not just Audi or VW.

What to do if your VW water pump fails?

If you are overheating and have a failed water pump, pull over to the side of the road and get a tow truck. If you’re 1,000 feet away from a repair shop, fine, idle the car over to it.

Where is the cam position sensor on a 1.8T VW?

Fortunately for us, the cam position sensor in the 1.8T sensor is conveniently located and fairly easy to change. In the photos below I have moved the radiator support panel into the service position, but I don’t think it’s necessary to do so.

How do you remove a camshaft position sensor?

Use your flat-blade screwdriver to pry the metal clip up and release the electrical connector. Use a 10mm socket and ratchet to remove the two bolts holding the sensor to the cylinder head. With the sensor removed, note the green-grey metal piece that remains attached to the cylinder head.

Is there a third wire in a VRT sensor?

However, some VRT sensors have a braided sheath inside the cable to shield the signal from interference, and that sheath may have a third wire on the connector.

How does a VRT work on a starter motor?

The cool thing about a VRT is that, because it’s an analog sensor that outputs a sort-of sine wave, the signal itself should be detectable as an AC (alternating current) signal. So, take a multimeter, set it to measure AC voltage, connect the red and black multimeter leads to the sensor’s signal and ground pins, and crank the starter motor.

Where is the sensor located on a crankshaft?

They’re usually smaller than VRTs and less prone to interference. The first step in troubleshooting a crank sensor is physical inspection. The sensor is at either the front or the back of the crankshaft, so it’s usually located either on the transmission bellhousing or behind the crankshaft pulley.
