Hi

I am about to wire up a harness for audi 1.8t and have a couple questions

1. it seems to only have a cam sensor what would be the trigger setup?

2. how to i setup VVT solenoid and how does it work as an on/off switch at a particular rpm? i ask as i know it goes on to chain.

Thanks guys for any input

What specific engine code are you talking?  All of them that I have seen have both a cam and crank sensor.  Usually at the flywheel end of the engine near the oil filter.

The models with VVT, it is just an on/off switched type, my understanding was it was originally added as an emissions reduction tool, activated during cold starts as a strategy to warm up the catalytic converter quicker, it is in fact also activated under some low load some driving conditions but most say it doesnt have a lot of effect on performance.  Connect one wire to ignition switched +12V and the other to an aux output.  Set it up as a GP output and use whatever conditions you want to activate it.
