I need to replace the sensors. I cannot find the camshaft sensor one or camshaft sensor 2.

The problem will probably not be the sensors, you get these codes when the timing chains, guides and camshaft actuators go out, this is a common problem. but if you want to give it a shot here, they are at the rear of the cylinder heads. The way to tell if the timing components are worn out is the eigne is make a slight rattle sounds at idle. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
