If in doubt turn the engine over twice by hand with a long ratchet on the crank bolt.

It's all up and running now, has a bit of a lumpy tick over and with very slight throttle whilst still under 1000rpm it's perfect, spark plugs are looking knackered so will change them tomorrow ,blocked of the pcv while i was at it so going to check there are no leaks there.

Ok keep getting camshaft sensor problem now since changing chain and tensioner, clears ok but returns in a day or so?? anyone any ideas ? i have changed the sensor with no change, are there any adaption resets i can do with it being run so long with the buggered chain and tensioner? by that i mean does the cam adjuster adapt to the play in the old chain and tensioner :thinking:

I did think it would adjust itself to suit just not sure, i'm going to poke around today and check wiring etc, thanks

I'm getting this fault, camshaft position correlation which to me means it's not singing of the same hymn sheet as the crankshaft sensor, possibly out a tooth ! i have no misfires car runs lovely and smooth, little judder on tick over but goes away when in gear and foot on brake ( DSG ) so god knows i'm begining to climb walls !! :doh:
