G6 - No Power

[Arnu84]

Hi

I had a "Little" bump on the front Right of my car.....

There was only body work damage.... Car was fine and no errors on dash except fog light which was damaged...

I have sent it in to get it fixed.. (Not through insurance)

Anyway the following was damaged on the car... All on the front Right side..
Fog light
Bumper Fender
Head Light

I have replaced all and any part that was broken or had any signs of a crack....

The Car was standing for 3 weeks... Off the whole time...
When they were finished with the car.. the battery obviously was flat.. so they connected other battery and the car would not start... only "winning" but no start.
It also had a error on dash telling check oil pressure of level.... everything was in order... So told them to take the car to VW and ask them... VW took the car an rest the car..

But after the car was restted.... the enjin light stays on... en the car has no power.... The error the picked up was the "Cambelt positioning sensor" was faulty.. So we order a new one and fitted it.. but still the same problem.... Then they checked the timming... running the following : +3, +1, +2.... (I dont know car's) so apparently the timming was not right according to this guy.. He is now telling me the following "Ek dink hy het n tand gespring"..... First of all my car has got a chain & not belt driven cambelt.

So i took the car away from them and took it to Silver Oaks VW in PTA.... the booked it in and told me its the "Timming Chain Tensioner"... They ordered one.. Replaced it... But still the car has no power & Enjin light is still on... They are trying to figure out what the hell is going on....

Is there anyone who has got advice or ideas what could be wrong....

Keep in mind the car was 100% after accident & after stripping the damaged parts.... and then stood still for 3 weeks....

Please guys.. i need urgent help... Up to now i have spend 36k on new parts & sensors etc... and still no working car...

A little update....

So they have replaced the timming tensioner...
They have done the timming.. (They say the timing went out because of the tensioner that was faulty)
They have upgraded the software on the ECU....

Then the first start of the car was perfect and the car had power plus the engine light was off...
Took it for a spin everything was fine... Switch the car off.. and when we want to start the car again... Struggled to start again & engine light came on.

The car has got the power back.. but struggling to start now... So they put the computer back on.. and it picks up the Crank Shaft Positioning Sensor-Cam Shaft Positioning sensor...

So they ordered new crank shaft sensor.. Installed it.. Again... First start is perfect.....Seconds start everything is back to what it was.... Struggling to start & engine light is on...

So now we have no clue wtf is going on....
