Skoda Yeti Diesel Poor Starting and Power Loss

My 2010 Skoda Yeti with a diesel engine is giving me fits. It starts poorly, and the engine power is way down. I took it to a mechanic, and they said it's the camshaft sensor. There's an error stored in the error memory, which points to that sensor. They suspect it might just be a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice before I shell out for a new sensor?

A 2010 Skoda Yeti with a diesel engine was experiencing poor starting and reduced engine power. The mechanic identified the camshaft sensor as the likely issue, with an error code pointing to a possible defective cable or plug connection. It was suggested to check the wiring and connections before replacing the sensor. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by fixing the wiring and plug, restoring the car's performance.

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Yeti. Rough idling, and the engine felt like it was about to stall. Did you check the crankshaft sensor as well? It could be related. What does the error memory say?

Crankshaft sensor? I haven't checked that one. The error code mentions the camshaft sensor being defective. But you had the same symptoms and it turned out to be something else? Could you tell me more? Where should I start looking?

The symptoms were almost identical. The error memory pointed to a sensor issue as well. It might be worth checking the wiring and connections before replacing the sensor itself. In my case, it was easier and faster to just let the workshop handle it. They have the right tools and know where to look. It will save you time and effort.

I took my Yeti to the workshop, and you were right. It was the camshaft sensor. The wiring and plug were the problem. They fixed it, and now the car runs perfectly. The bill was 95€, which is okay. Thanks for your help!
