Audi TT Mk1 1.8T - How to Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor - P0322 error code

[@pigeonguardgames507]

Had this done on my V6 several weeks ago and so far no more stalling so guess it fixed the problem. Interesting as always to see what it looks like, where it goes and more importantly, what it actually does. Thanks Andy.

Hi Si. Tougher job on V6 (as always). It took me and car chris 4 hours!

[@pigeonguardgames507]

@@andycharger It looked hard enough on the 1.8 !!!!!! glad I left it to the garage!🤣

Andy, great video as always. Potential tip for others prior to changing the sensor. I had this happen recently on the TTR BAM, EPC light threw up when driving along M23 resulting in high idle revs (1,200 rpm instead on 760 rpm - if you see this don't stall or attempt to restart otherwise you may not be able to restart and be stranded). I was reading the Audi repair guides and they state to check the pins 2 and 3 (pin 3 is next to the round curve, then 2 and pin 1 next to rectangle end) for Ohm resistance being in spec from 730 to 1000 Ohm before changing the sensor. You may have noticed the dipstick tube is just above the connector and in my case there was lots of crud built up around this area over the past 20 years, which may have affected the connecting plug causing an intermittent short. It might help to clean out the connectors first with contact cleaner and clean the sensor area with a spray bottle of detergent / degreaser just to see if this issue is an electrical short, prior to changing the sensor. I cleaned everything and I changed the sensor to another Bosch one (as per the original). After I removed the original sensor I tested it with the meter and was reading 890 Ohm, within specification. TT gremlins strike again!

@@davidjsmith67utube fantastic and detailed response David! Thanks so much! 👍

Hi Andy ! Very nice job, and well explained. I have done this job 2 years ago and, omg it was a pain ! Obviously, the access is tricky. Bolt ok, connector ok, but to extract the sensor … 😵 It turned on itself but, impossible to pull off. In the end with a plier like yours ( don’t know the name in english ) and pulling hard, it came out 🥵 My symptomas was an hight iddle, and time to time the car stop when in taffic 😤 And restart was ok 10 mn after.

[@andycharger]

Thank you Rene! Yes pliers or mole grips to remove the sensor. I had very similar symptoms. It just stalled at a junction then refused to start. 5 mins later it started! I hope you car is working well now!

[@renedewael9703]

Yes, of course this issue was solved, but you know, at this age one problem solved, another take place ;) Not a big deal.

[@rappstyle009]

Woderful and helpful video! I have the exact same simptoms in my tt. I've changed the coolant temperature sensor hoping that's the cause but today my tt just stoped working at a red light. It started after about 20 mins. I feel a fuel smell inside tho. I thinks it's this crankshaft sensor the problem. Thank you so much for this video!

[@andycharger]

I’m glad it helped buddy! 👍

[@eirejk7707]

Always useful info. And great camera work in such a tight spcae. Thanks Andy.

[@andycharger]

Thank you for your kind words. Yes I try and represent as good a camera angle as possible as there is nothing worse that not being able to see what you need to see. Hopefully it helps many!

[@PaulBrennan-v3d]

Hi Andy, great video! after watching this video i decided to tackle the job myself on my Mk1 TT, the connector was loose without any holding bracket and being heavy handed i managed to pull the connector off leaving the black brown and white wires exposed. the black wire is to pin number 1 but could you tell me which wires go to pins 2 & 3. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@andycharger]

Hi. I am not sure of the pin out for the sensor but will see what I can find buddy!

[@burte36]

Thanks Andy

[@PaulBrennan-v3d]

Hi Andy, I've done some digging around and have found that the pin numbers to colour wires connecting the sensor are 1, 2 & 3 = black, brown & white.

[@vincevanengen361]

good helpful video

[@andycharger]

Thank you Vince! Your feedback is most appreciated. I hope it helped!

[@scotlandswerewolf7279]

Hi Andy, Very informative video as usual. I have an airbag control module warning light on and i have a mot next week. Do you have an idea on how to fix it? I have a Mk 1 A3 1.8T S spare car maybe they are the same? I have the same car as you silver BAM TT Roadster I need to join the mk 1 TT community for help lol. Any help would be appreciated. Going to upload some videos of my TT R when i get my phone fixed.

[@andycharger]

Hello sir! Thankyou for your comment. I think you can reset the airbag control module using Vagcom. Have you scanned the car with an OBD2 tool to see if it has an error? You may be able to just delete it. Alternatively, I think you can remove the module if faulty and replace with a new one. I believe the part number is 8N8 909 601

[@jambacardi2474]

Nice one Andy

[@andycharger]

Thanks Jambacardi! I hope you enjoyed it.

[@kadeemmeggett6324]

What’s the rpm reading should be during cranking on the sensor and what’s the rpm needle should read during cranking

[@andycharger]

Not sure during cranking. I will check mine with OBD2 to see if it tells me. It appears flat lined on the gauge until the engine is running. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@paulodonnell106]

How did you get the grips on the plug. I've been at it for 2 hours 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@andycharger]

Hi Paul. My mole grips have quite a small "head" on them so they fit into tight spaces. The best thing you can do is try and get a screwdriver or similar between the block and the sensor (maybe under the bolt hole fitting) and try prizing it off. Getting the new one in the hole is the real challenge. Use plenty of lube on the red O ring!

[@worf39]

nice one think I'll do this when I do oil change and filter be a little more room with the filter out the way

[@andycharger]

Absolutely this! I thought to myself that removing the filter would make it so much easier

[@WayneBruch-f5o]

Did you already delete the SAI pump or did you not have one?

[@andycharger]

@@WayneBruch-f5o mine still has one. My cars are very much standard so do not remove elements from them. Very OEM! 👍

[@Fastest_TT]

Thank you

[@andycharger]

No problem buddy! I hope it helps you.

[@alexandrumosneag3439]

Hi, is the 180PS or the 224PS?

[@andycharger]

This is the 225 but it’s the same location and process

[@TheCincinnatiDad]

New part arrives tomorrow, might as well change the oil while I'll be under there!

[@TheCincinnatiDad]

Ugh, the 225 AMU isn’t the same…. Always a complication🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCincinnatiDad]

Well, the first part ordered from Amazon (hey, don’t judge me, free shipping!) was wrong. The part ordered by the guys at my local AutoZone was wrong, but I finally got the correct part installed today. I should say, my 21-year-old did it because he could get his hands in there. Definitely easier if you remove the oil filter! The car is running great now.

[@kialerbirdsell6634]

Where did you order your part from? i have a jetta 1.8t with the audi tt amu engine and don't wanna buy the wrong part. @@TheCincinnatiDad

[@TheCincinnatiDad]

@@kialerbirdsell6634 Hey there, I ordered the Hitachi CPS0070 from RockAuto for $12.92. Good luck with your project!

[@andycharger]

@@TheCincinnatiDad great to hear you got the car sorted and interesting to hear there are different parts for the various engine styles. Sorry for the late reply! 👍

I have a 2017 Audi TT, My car was giving me a speed sensor error. I turn on the car, move it to the area where I do my repairs and proceed to change the sensors, disconnect the battery and change the sensor, then connect the battery and when I go to start the car, the panel and the lights turn on, but the driver's window that was open does not close, I check the battery which is practically new and was dead, I take it to be checked and the diagnosis says it is good but dead, I charge it, mount it and try to start the vehicle again and the same thing, the lights, the radio, the digital panel turn on but the driver's window does not go up and it does not make any attempt to start... I am lost and I do not know what it could be... Any idea?

[@andycharger]

Hi. I am afraid I do not have any knowledge of the mk3 TT. Sorry I cannot help.
