Code P0016

[disco]

Is P0016 the timing chain please any help

car running ok but engine management light on, obd2 given the above code

 

[Pedro]

Camshaft position-Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A this is relating to Inlet cam out of sync when combustion is imminent hence the timing is not in the correct position when the engine is about to fire because the ECU has detected both Cam & Crank are not in synchronized positions & is trying to configure the correct firing sequence from the data sent from both sensors
Possible causes are its one (or both) of the sensors or a wiring failure (open circuit) other things to trigger this code can include VVTI valve system is causing issues or Timing Chain or maybe the tensioner have reached their limit of tolerance if the chain is suspected then cold start rattle is apparent but Tensioners are a re known generic early failure on the se engines

Hi Pedro you seem to know what your talking about , any chance you could tell me we’re the crankshaft position sensor b high bank 1 is please ? I’ve replaced the one in the red circle today as car was running like a bag of dicks and it ran fine but absolutely gutless for 20 minutes then I got the i I’ve code pop up on my computer

if you get Underneath the car where the braided downpipe from the exhaust sits between the sump & Gearbox look up & you will spot a yellowish plastic cover under that is the crankshaft sensor they are fiddly to remove but if you persevere it should come out without too much effort or effin & blindin

Thankyou Pedro most strait forward answer I’ve got all day really appreciate it hopefully get it out tomorrow and price up a new one

Morning Pedro after searching for the above sensor with no success I did how ever find this brown plug that wasn’t connected to anything any ideas ?

 

[Pedro]

You should see a plug somewhere up there unless its the one hanging out ? when I get home later I'll see if I can dig out a diag of the bottom end maybe try retracing the wires & if my memory is correct some foreign guy on you tube posted this problem when his car was on stands & in bits I think he showed the plug on camera ?

Cheers Pedro appreciate it. I looked for 20 minutes couldn’t find anything matching what you you told me to look for

Found the sensor Pedro gotta go down the scrap yard and take another one off, still not sure what the brown plug was for there’s a white lable on it so when I get it jacked up tonight to put the other sensor on I’ll try get some pictures of the lable to see if we can sus out what it is for future reference for all of us. Thanks agai. For the advice.

I had all these faults but crank sensor fingers crossed I had new timing gear an a week later light came on so replaced vanos sensor an problem solved could this be the issue

I’ve spoken to a pds master technician who told me I need to take the car to somone with a diabox or autel to rest the adaptations for the new sensors and this will solve the issue
