Engine shaking seat when idle after CAMBELT CHANGE BY VW
« on: January 04, 2011, 11:16:54 pm »
 VW dealer just changed my cambelt today me and my friend realised it doesnt feel the same. At idle, You can feel the seat moving every few seconds like the engines shaking. Seems to be fine when driven. It was definately no like this before they changed it. I cant believe they did it wrong, It was done by Volkswagen leeds.

Any ideas greatly appreciated before i phone them tomorrow

i have a gt tdi 2.0 mk5 btw

Could be the cambelt torsion value!


Do you have VCDS?

Yeah VCDS is vagcom!

You can log the torsion value... it should be as close to ZERO as possible!

Dealer said its not them, its due to the emissions light but thats always been there and it only happened after the cambelt change.
Its only slight vibration at idle but it wasnt there nonetheless
They havnt heard of the torsion adjustment

Where are you based? Try and find someone local with Vagcom who can check this value for you!

Some dealers are complete noobs!
