  • Fault codes advice please

    Car MK4 golf 1.6L engine code AVU 166000 KM

    Hi all

    I recently changed the PCV valve and MAF on the car as I was getting fault codes for them. All was good but today she was not running right and seemed a bit sluggish. I did a scan and I am getting the following codes when I scanned with VCDS LITE .

    3 Faults Found:
    16556 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Rich
    P0172 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
    16555 - Fuel Trim; Bank 1: System Too Lean
    P0171 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
    16726 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40): Signal too Low
    P0342 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

    Any ideas what it could be. Maybe a faulty camshaft sensor or possibly the bank one injector. I am pretty sure there are no vacuum leaks but would have to check again.

    Advice please

    Many thanks

    Fuel trim on that engine is usually No1 lambda (o2) sensor. And also airmass meters are poor. Used to change them both together. Also check for split breather hoses, crack a lot on that engine and will cause air leak / mixture codes.

      Thanks for the advice. Might be a split hose then as I changed the front no 1 lamda only 4 months ago with a bosch sensor and rear was don recently as well. Old car and all the sensors start going. Will investigate later. Any advice on the best way to find it besides a detailed hose inspection.
