These are 12v sensors. The 1.8t has no 5v ref. Tooth out is correlation error, not signal too high. Clear codes, unplug and start. Returning code should be signal too low.
Camshaft Sensor?

I did that (clear codes unplug and restart) it returned the same *too high* code.These are 12v sensors. The 1.8t has no 5v ref. Tooth out is correlation error, not signal too high. Clear codes, unplug and start. Returning code should be signal too low.

Tell them over at vrs owners and a few other skoda sites... did check and only one was a diesel but same 5v values where quoted... but in case you are right and it's 12v it will be: 12v, 12v and no resistance on the ground.These are 12v sensors. The 1.8t has no 5v ref. Tooth out is correlation error, not signal too high. Clear codes, unplug and start. Returning code should be signal too low.
One drew a quick picture of how the cam-sensor is connected one from battery one to ecu one to ground... so you might be right he did mention though that the battery one is a switched one. But both should have the same voltage and one being ground that shouldn't have any resistance.

Pin 1 is power. Also supplies G31 (air pressure sensor). Wire is purple/green. Comes from ECU T121/98.
Pin 2 is signal. Goes to ECU T121/86.
Pin 3 is ground. Shares ground with G31, G62 (coolant sensor), intake temp sensor, knock sensors etc. Check for coolant ingress on the loom.

If now it's just the O2sensors than it must be the timing that causes it... probably it was able to adjust it within spec this time around... if it pops up again it might be just out of spec ... I would deffo check the timing.

Can vcds check timing?
If not, how do I do it?
If it does need adjusting it's the same process as replacing the cambelt, no?

Yes... but instead of taking the lot off you set the engine at dtc and just check if all the markings line up. If they don't than it'll need adjusting

Garage is doing a couple of bits on it soonish, I'll get them to check the timing (since tdc is set using the crank pulley by the look of it)..Yes... but instead of taking the lot off you set the engine at dtc and just check if all the markings line up. If they don't than it'll need adjusting
