The car is an 06 a6 and has a little over 80k miles. The CEL came on and I have the codes pasted below. I wanted to confirm that pic is sensor g163 (cam sensor) as I'm hoping that the cam sensor I pointed to in the pic is the culprit and not a timing issue. Any opinions on the codes?? I figured the sensor is only $60 and if that is in fact the correct sensor its as easy as it gets to replace. Might just replace that anyway and hope the code stays off. Any input is appreciated! Thanks for the quick reply.
