Paperclip diagnosis: 335; 340;352 on my W reg 2.0 GLS auto estate.  As far as I can gather these faults denote crank sensor; camshaft sensor; Ignition coil 1&2. Perhaps someone could confirm?  

New timing belt/water pump done 2k miles ago by independent garage. Did 300 miles yesterday without a murmur then on a short local trip EMS light came on, off, on aain then car stalled on a slow left turn after rev counter appeared to go momentarily haywire . Managed to get home with EMS light staying on and now car cuts out when idling.

Thoughts, input, advice gratefully received.

340 is cam sensor, prone to failure on 2.0/2.2, so I'd defo start by changing that.

Thanks TB. Any idea how this relates to other 2 faults? In other words is fixing this likely to sort the other two probs? Is it a big / expensive job? DIY-able for someone with some/limited mechanical knowledge? Cheers.

apparently if you have a fault which causes a code,for reasons which are beyond my knowledge it can cause the ecu to get a bit confused and flash up other codes as well.so if you fix one fault the other codes might disappear as well.someone more expert might come along later and give a more detailed (better) explanation. ........i changed the crank sensor on my v6 recently and it was an easy job (half an hour) i dont know anything about the 4 pot cars but i think they are usually easier to work on than the v6  ,so i would imagine its a diy fix.there could well be a how to in one of the maintenance sections

Ignore the cam sensor for now, start with the crank sensor, the rev counter going mad is the additional clue here.

Cam sensor code can be thrown because the ECU sees an iffy crank signal and thinks hmmm, cam signa isn't where I would expect it to be.

Great, thanks for the advice guys, sounds like a job I could have a go at myself. I've not seen a Haynes manual for the facelift model,  am I safe to assume the manual for pre-facelift is applicable - at least for 2.0 16v engine issues?
