Peugeot 5008 Camshaft Sensor Issue

My 2020 Peugeot 5008 gasoline engine has 165145 km and is acting up. It struggles to start, stalls at idle sometimes, and the check engine light is on. I suspect it's the camshaft sensor, possibly the encoder wheel on the camshafts themselves. Has anyone else had this issue?

A 2020 Peugeot 5008 with 165,145 km is experiencing starting difficulties, stalling at idle, and a check engine light, suspected to be related to the camshaft sensor or the encoder wheel on the camshafts. The issue is confirmed by a diagnostic code pointing to the camshaft position sensor. A similar case required replacing the encoder wheel after the sensor replacement failed to resolve the problem, suggesting a workshop visit may be necessary for a definitive fix.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had something similar happen in my 5008. Is it throwing any specific codes? Mine was a pain to diagnose but the symptoms sound familiar.

Yeah, it's throwing a code related to the camshaft position sensor. Did you end up replacing the sensor itself or was it something else?

I tried replacing the sensor first, but no luck. Eventually, I had to bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. They confirmed it was the encoder wheel. Not cheap, unfortunately.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm heading to the workshop as well. They've quoted me 695€ for the repair. Hopefully, that sorts it out.
