Camshaft & Crankshaft correlation.

Hi,

I have a Peugeot 5008 THP 1.6 2009 model.

I have recently been told by my service garage, that I have an issue with the correlation/timing of the Crankshaft & Camshaft, but without setting to work on the engine, he has no idea what exactly is wrong with it and it’s not going to be cheap… :-/

My dilemma… 

I am aware of the ECU code 

P0016 – sychronize Camshaft and Crankshaft correlation 

showing on my neighbors advanced car diagnostic tool when he checked for me, which is the same code the service garage guy told me, but I needed to confirm to see if it was true.

The code on the CDT is showing as ‘intermittent’, something the service garage guy has not mentioned :-/

However, my car is not showing any symptoms for this code… no stalling, no misfiring, no juddering, no noises of any kind, fuel consumption seems to be good…

The only thing I have had since I bought the car in October 2020, is the ‘check engine’ light coming on occasionally, with info on the screen saying ‘anti pollution system faulty’, but then it can stop telling me after a couple of hours or maybe max 2 days, with very intermittent driving (I don’t drive around that much, as I work from home and have a toddler to care for), but the ‘check engine’ light has only come on once this year and never showed again several hours later when I used the car again.

So… with no symptoms, occasional (very rarely but still there) ‘check engine’ light with fault message,

 this brings me to believing that there is most likely an issue with one or both of the sensors.

For obvious reasons, I don’t want to take my car back to the garage, as I am kinda dis-trusting this guy…

He hasn’t said anything about checking the Camshaft or Crankshaft sensors, wiring or anything, he has only mentioned going straight into the engine, for the timing belt… 

oh… and he did mention that if he was to start digging into the engine for this issue, he guarantees he will fihttps://www.worktime.com/nd more wrong that will take up the cost of repairs, labour etc…

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It’d be nice to hear them 😀

Also, as I am not willing to go back to the garage for this issue, (I am also running low on funds, so visiting another garage for a diagnosis and then repair and labour costs, is out of the question for the time being…)

I am looking at personally going through the basics to start… yep that’s right! The Sensors.

Once I’m done with them, if the problem code still shows, then I know what to expect 🙂

But I have no idea where they are :D:D:D

If someone can enlighten me, or provide some info/instructions on finding the Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensors, I would be extremely grateful 😀

Thank you for your time 🙂

Could you tell me how have you solved this issue?
