Camshaft position sensor?

[Cupra137]

For the past 2 days everytime i go to start the car it just won't fire up, then i get a loud pop from the exhaust and smell of fumes but then on second attempt it starts up fine.

Assuming this will be the camshaft sensor as it flagged a fault up on Vagcom about a week ago, so would a sensor like this be ok to use, or is this a nasty ebay jobby, and I should go to the dealers?

Go to the dealers.... Or tps... But buy genuine sensors... These cars hate copy's and just don't work we'll with them!!

Sorry to say it but its true! Take the pocket hit once... Rather than 'save money' buying cheap... And buying twice!!

Cool, thats fine, usually go dealers anyway just wanted to check. Its definitely the sensor too, just had it checked, tps here i come

Anyone got a part number for one of these? Seems its changed a few times...

It's called a Gxx on vagcom, ask for that, iirc the crank sensor is a g28... And so on... Can order sensors like that without part numbers.

Ibiza cupra and looking for a ko3s hybrid , did a quick search on here and I saw a post on here from you about you almost buying a ko3s hybrid setup advertised on here , could you point me in the right direction as to where the advert is or who on here is selling it as my ko3s has just gone and looking to upgrade so the first thing I did was a quick google and found this forum, any help would be very much appreicated , many thanks david

Yeah, its on a facebook group called mk3 ibiza cupra 20vt owners. Guy called Josh Munn is selling it, but I fear it may have sold now as was another guy on here very interested in it.
