Audi gift

[magooagain]

I have just been given a A6 Quattro 2.4 petrol estate on a 2001 plate.
It seems a tidy car with just a couple of faults being an engine management light on and a blowing exhaust somewhere below and just along from the down pipe.

The previous owner tells me the engine light is a cam phase sensor? The car starts and runs well so not sure what to do with it really.
Is the sensor an expensive fix? If so I may scrap the car or try to sell for parts but seems a shame for such a nice car.

Here are a few photos.

Thanks guys. It sounds throaty enough with the exhaust blowing at the moment.
Has anyone got any guides I could follow to sort that sensor?

Turns out it's the crankshaft sensor. I would still like to know where it is etc if anyone has any advice please.

Great stuff chaps. Thanks a bunch. I will post up how I get on.

I have replaced the crank position sensor but the engine light has come back on.
The exhaust is blowing at the down pipe junction with the flexi mesh on both sides.
It looks as though there are a lambda sensor on both sides in the box after the flexi

Could these throw up the engine light?


Also it looks like I may need an entire system including the down pipes as there is now clamp joint from down pipe to the first mesh area. To be honest the whole system is in poor condition.

Any ideas were I may be able to buy a full system?

Thanks guys. I will get down to our local garage and have a good look . Hopefully just the flexi's.
It's a very nice car but I think was driven hard by the last owner.
