As part of my final 100k service on the GTI having changed the cam chain, adjuster and tensioner last week...... I changed the primary and secondary Lambda sensors as they tend to slow with age if not come close to end of life.
Got BOSCH items from Opie Oils as they are the same as genuine ones (also made by BOSCH) but a lot cheaper at £110 for both.

Getting to that time in the service schedule...
What is the current going rate people are paying for the DSG service?
Any recommendations for specialists in the East Berkshire/West London area?

Re: Cam adjuster/phaser wear - ALL DONE ✔️

It seems that the duty cycle (group 91, block 2) controls the oil flow in the solenoid to keep the timing in check
less than 50% retards timing
more than 50% advances
50% locks the timing without adjustment
So a good result for me here.
