Anyone know audis/vws well? Ive got a problem with my 2010 1.8t petrol, ive had codes read and it said camshaft position sensor, ive changed that and no different!
Just wonfering if this is a common audi/vw thing as there seems to be plenty of common faults with these engines, ive attached a vid of it idleing

What was the number of the fault code?

blk-Mk5-zs

It was P164D

For all VAG products (Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW): P164D Engine oil pressure switch - implausible signal

Either you wrote down the wrong number or you have got some bogus description somewhere.
Where did this description you have come from?

Loomer

by the sound of the video id say it was the cam position, not the cam position sensor

Check the cam timing. Sounds rough as a bag of spanners.

You are correct oldford. My mistake

Here are the details from the AA

Engine control 1 - A0F / Motronic MED 17P0341 - Camshaft position sensor 1. Error Message : Signal improbable.P164D - Oil pressure switch 2. Error Message : Faulty operation.P0300 - Combustion failure detected. Error Message : .P0304 - Combustion failure cylinder 4 detected. Error Message : .P0302 - Combustion failure cylinder 2 detected.

Well, there's definitely something wrong with the cam timing.
If the camshaft timing/position is oil pressure controlled, I would start by measuring the actual oil pressure.
