Citroen C8 Camshaft Sensor Failure

I had similar symptoms with my C8. Camshaft position sensor failure is a common problem. Have you checked the sensor's wiring and connections for any damage?

Thanks for your reply. I will check the wiring, but do you remember if your engine also cut out? Does this confirm my suspicion of a defective encoder wheel on the camshaft?

Yes, the engine stalled frequently, especially when idling. While the encoder wheel could be the problem, a sensor failure is more probable. I would suggest seeking professional assistance to properly diagnose the issue.

Thank you. The workshop confirmed a faulty camshaft sensor and encoder wheel. Total cost 695€. Your experience was most helpful.
