If it's faulty then the ECU cannot detect what position the camshaft is in, thinks that there is a problem and won;t let the engine start. If you turn the key and the vehicle doesn't start, then watch the rev gauge. If it sits at 0 then it is a good indication that the camshaft sensor is kaput.

Glad it was something relativeley simple!

I'm just a lowly service advisor and workshop controller for a VW commercial dealership, just means I sit on both sides of the fence when it comes to problems with the dealer and with warranty

Ah well, all is no lost Wink
The camshaft sensor is used by the engine management system to find out the position of number one cylinder, i.e. where the camshaft is in relation to the crankshaft, once it has determined this, it is no longer needed, so is only used on each start up. So you would only notice a failure on startup.

Much less of a worry than a major mechanical problem

Regards
