Camshaft sensor malfunction and reduced engine power - connection?
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The conversation centers around a camshaft sensor malfunction in an Audi A6, which is suspected to be causing reduced engine performance. The camshaft sensor's role is crucial for determining the camshaft's position and controlling fuel injection, and its malfunction can lead to inefficient fuel use and reduced performance. While not an immediate safety threat, it is a serious issue that should be addressed promptly to prevent further engine damage. A professional mechanic should inspect and potentially replace the sensor.

Yes, a malfunctioning camshaft sensor can indeed cause reduced engine performance. The camshaft sensor is responsible for determining the position of the engine's camshaft and controlling the fuel injection. If it's not working properly, it can lead to inefficient fuel use and reduced engine performance. While it's not an immediate safety concern, it's still a serious issue that should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your engine. I would recommend having a professional mechanic inspect and possibly replace the sensor if necessary. After you've had it checked, could you please update us on the situation? Do you have any other questions regarding this issue?
