VAG-COM code 203, Hall Generator fault - anybody shed some light?

MrSix · 2 Jul 2007 at 17:06

As in the title really, I've had problems with my car being hesitant under accelleration and not revving above 5200rpm. Had it diagnosed and it turns out there's a fault with the "Hall Generator" which is apparently something to do with the cams.

Can anyone shed some light on the matter for me?

The car is a mk4 Golf 1.6 8v

That and the power steering pressure, but that was reset and re-diagnosed and didn't return.

The fault codes were:
022D - PAS pressure
203 - Hall Generator

Is this an easy / cheap fix?

Any ideas?

Yeah I've got another thread up on ukmkiv's forum and they are useless - it's such a slow moving forum and answers are few and far between.

I was just hoping that some clued up person here could help me

Yeah I did mate, whole lot cambelt and tensioners.
