    used a scanner today and got the fault code 00515 cam position sensor (hall) sensor signal outside tolerance.

    Cam TDC and flywheel TDC marks line up, so cam should be in spec. So what could it be...if hall sensor had truly failed then engine should not run?

    Will have to go along and speak to VW specific workshop in Melb to check codes. Otherwise all running well. Does not like steep hills, but then what would with 80kw and 2000kg?

    What octane rating fuel are you using My work van "[petrol} is supposed to run on minimum 91 RON but I use 95 RON as on the lesser it triggers an engine light and runs very sluggish under load until refueled with the higher rating petrol . The main problem is that there are very minimal testing of fuel RON levels in Australia so you end up getting less than you are supposed to .

    I use 95ron from caltex. I'm familiar with preignition, so it's not that. I suspect that the VW code reader will be more specific.
