Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had an intermittend CEL in my 00 C2 which was initially diagnosed as the cam position sensor, and later the cam tensioner. Although I don't know where the cam position sensor is, I was told the engine must be dropped to get to the tensioner or its solenoid.
