Sps and revo settings question?

[Dan_FR]

Is it the sensor or is it the timing? Have they snapped the camshaft adjusted on the top of the engine?

Most of the older TFSI use the same part as far as I know, Leon, Golf, A3, Skodas etc.

[Markis236]

I dobt think thy have snapped any thing indefinitely feels like a sensors as the car kicks on and then holds back

[Dan_FR]

It could be the camshaft adjuster on the top of the engine, easily done. I doubt a sensor fails on its own at the exact same time you have the chain and belt changed. Hope you get it sorted anyway

[Markis236]

The camshaft adjuster? I think I had this out last night is 2 t20 screws on the chain side and a shaft thinking pulls out and there are like holes in it ?

[Dan_FR]

Yep, the thing in the middle of the picture below. Helps to work with faultcodes, but you can check the functionality of this valve with VCDS and check the timing with it.

Ye I Defo had that off going to scrappy to get one and 100% going to buy vag com after this like

[Dan_FR]

What is the fault code? Are you sure its not just the code that is thrown up when the timing is a tooth or two out?

[Markis236]

I'm sure it's a p0340 code and the guy checked the timing 3 times because he thought it was out as well

[Dan_FR]

I still suspect its the timing, cam chain timing if not the cambelt. VCDS or a similar device would tell you for sure. Cheaper than replacing a part that costs £120 ish new!!

[Markis236]

Well that right amid where can you buy vcds and how to you use it ? Sorry for the million questions it's just a pain when you pay some one to do a job and the car doesn't run right offer :/

[Dan_FR]

Take it back and leave it to them to sort it then mate, they obviously haven't done it correctly. Where are you located? Try and find someone local with VCDS and get it checked - 5 minute job

[Markis236]

They said that problem is nothin to do with what they have done and I was like well it ta fine when it came in and know it's running like a bag of sh*te and I'll try fine some one with vcds to try get a diagnostic if the timing is out of the sensor is f*cked

[Markis236]

Ok so iv replaced my camshaft sensors and had no joy with that but iv noticed the camshaft ajuster is very rattly when I shake it ? Could this be the problem ?

[Markis236]

So iv changed the n205 valve and no joy sill throughibg up the p0450 code to do with timeing the only thing it can be is the revo map being deleted ! Or the timing is out ? And good / recommend be specialist in the central belt of Scotland ?
