Hey gang I have a 2000 A4 wagon 2.8 auto that has the follow obd codes P1347 P0304,5,&6 and P0300. P1347 shows that the timing could be off or the crank sensor could be bad. I also had a code for the cam sensor on Bank 1 (forgot the code) which I changed out and that code hasn't come back. When I Googled it most ppl say the timing is off or something with the timing chain for the cams.
This is my daily and I know the timing and WP is due but plans to do it when the weather gets warmer and funds are a bit attainable unless someone wants to help out and buy my for sale items. My question is can I just adjust the timing if it is off temporarily.
Also to touch on the issue how this happened, the car had a bad center differential that I took to the dealer to diagnose. Engine ran fine before they got it. After I got the car back and running with new diff (about a 3 weeks later) I turned the car on and there's this misfire. Called the dealer (knowing it's going to be a long shot) and they say it's prolly due to the cold weather while it was sitting. So idk what they did when they had it or what could cause it to be off timing at this point.
So can I just
1) change the crank sensor and see what happens
2) temporarily retime the car till I can get the parts
3) whatever suggestions you have
Also I do not have a Vag
