Fitted new camshaft that's vw. Fitted via 18th 19th pin. Chain is new ish. After market pulley is on which come with the timing kit a while back.
Previous aftermarket intake cam lobe profiles were not as bad as i originally thought in my previous posts. Massive weight difference tho between vw material and aftermarket steel.
The chain tensioner had its filter on the back semi blocked/blocked, so the chain tensioner piston was quite hard to move down. Cleaned it up and moves freely. The vvt solenoid operates when connected to a battery and has 7ohms.
Could the vvt pulley be blocked, or the housing oil passage? Can you take the vvt pulley apart?
I think the sealing rings, maybe plastic, have broken? Does anyone know the part number for the vvt plastic rings that go inside the timing case?
What's the knocking sound, the vvt pulley with low oil pressure?
I'm getting these codes, along with a loud audible clicking/tapping sound which seems to come from the vvt pulley side.
