Leaky Cam Sensor?

[razputin]

Just picked up my A4 which I have to say it nothing other than unbelievable! Totally loving it!

Just noticed yesterday that a sensor (looks like a sensor) had a bit of water/coolant sitting in the top of the bolt holding it in. Definitely doesn't seem to be oil and to be honest still looks quite dry around it. I'm thinking it's a Cam Sensor because of it's location but just wanted clarification, perhaps it may just need tightened?

Forgive the state of the engine bay, it's deep clean begins today


Ta.

Defo dirty under there mate . Yeah it's one of the position sensors. There's 4 of them. Changed mine last month. Part number 06e905163

Cheers Rizzini. Were they expensive? Maybe replace that one to see if the new seal on it prevents the leak. The others look fine. Easy enough to replace? Screw off then refit?

They're only about £25-30 each (got mine via a mate at Tps).
Yeah just unscrew, pop the connector off and pull it out. Left and right lower a bit more awkward to get at but even I managed!!!!
Dodgy ones can cause slow starting apparently.

Might be worth a call to audi to see if there's any recalls. Got my coil packs changed foc

Cheers man. Will give them a shout tomorrow.
