Code p0015... "B" Camshaft position- timing over retarded (bank 1)

[BeeFaze]

I have shitty idle and hard starting... What should I expect when I take it to the shop?

Crank position sensor... cheap easy... if you do it yourself.

Did you have another work done recently? T-Belt, valve cover gasket, etc?

What motor? I have a similar code that shows up every once in a while and a periodic shitty idle with my 1.8T.

Wouldn't it be Cam position sensor if he's throwing cam codes?
Either way ones located next to your oil cooler and the other is located behind your timing belt cover in the front.
both are easy fixes assuming you drive a 1.8t

totaly possible...
Also, a bad crank pos sensor will throw cam codes... I am only speaking from experience with the same symptoms but I had more codes than just p0015 when my CPS went out.

Have you checked your oil? are you loosing coolant?

^Good point, as far as I remember low oil will throw those also.

Oil is good just got it changed and my radiator fluid is below minimum, could that be a possible reason too?

I just got hit with a bunch of codes right after hitting 140k and it hasn't been running the same... Ive gotten Codes for my cats (which I expected cause problems on the 3.0), ign distributor, and lo system voltage along with the p0015 what would you say I'm looking at in a shop just to get everything fixed to have her running like new again? I have the money I'm just trying to keep it to a good price

when you say you have low coolant, do this... start the car and leave it on, get out and go to the back to the exhaust pipes, do you see vapor coming out?
