They all do this after a while. You can buy pump rebuild kits off of ebay/amazon and change out all the seals yourself. VW or parts dealers only supply the seal that goes between the pump and the VVT housing as they consider the pump a wear item that should be replaced when it starts to leak.
Re: VCDS block 93 Phase position bank 1 = 1KW when should be 0-6KW?

I am assuming these values are when the engine is up to temp.
The cam adjustment intake B1 should be 28.0 +/- 0.5 but is way out at 25.5 degrees
The 5.9% should be about 50% which means the adjuster is not changing much on a perfectly timed engine, so 5.9% is almost maxed out in one direction to keep it in time.
Need to see group 092 also

Put the summer wheels back on and resprayed the red grille trim as it got pretty faded. Forgot to have it done when i resprayed the whole car... like a moron.

Hi guys!!
It is now 15 years later and my OZ Alleggeritas need refurbishing ~ I am thinking Gold! The red & gold colour combo is quite classic on performance cars and not just Ferraris.

just nbsp on an off chance if you have a second key fob see if that start the engine.
Thanks but all seems ok now. I reckon the ignition switch failed causing a parasitic battery drain which is why the car wouldn’t start after having the new switch fitted. All good now though!

MK5 GT - really bad engine noise

I have an 07 MK5 GT 2.0, the 140 version. When idling from start, whenever stopped at lights or just stopped in general the engine is extremely noisy and almost sounds like it'#039s rumbling/going to explode.
I know these cars are quite noisy in general but it has definitely changed since purchase. When I give it a tiny bit of gas in neutral the noise stops and goes back to
