error code on 1998 beetle 2.0

Is the car acting funny? As in shutting off when it reaches operating
temperature and not starting until it takes a few hours to cool off? Just
wondering, because I just had to have that sensor replace about a month ago.
It came on with now warning and the check engine light would only come on
right when it shut off and stay on for a while after it started up again. I
think it cost like $300 Canadian, for the part, labour and labour to put in
a new rad fan, taxes incl.

I'm not sure if it might be an early warning that the sensor's going or not,
but it starts to act like I mentioned above, it's probably that.

Good luck with your search.

Did you end up replacing the camshaft sensor? If so, do you know where on
the car the sensor is- I'm having the same problem. Thanks- Scot
