Car has no power?????- FIXED AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!

[heavyd]

Yours is out by a silmilar amount, maybe a bit less. It is the opposite to Doms though, i.e turned too far the other way.

So should the inlet camshaft lobes be pointing in the same direction as the exhaust  lobe in my picture ? my exhaust lobe is low and the inlet is pointing high

The cam lobes behind the black setting block are the setting lobes. exhaust lobe(left ) should be at 2 oclock, and the inlet lobe(right) should be at 10 oclock.
So yours is pointing at 12 oclock, mine was pointing at 8 oclock.

Thanks Dave, hopefully I might have a car that works tomorrow
It''ll be interesting to see the garages views on your findings, I bet my wallet will be taking yet another hit

That is a pretty shocking list of ailments.


I suppose the $64,000 question is which map? 

Stock map 
Stage 1 shark and PDT stage 2 was overboosting to 2 bar so looks like I'm out of that game, hopefully one day I might be able to run the PDT stage 2 map I have, shark performance wont do me a stage 2 map, so the most I can go from them is the stage 1 I have, as no more stage 2+ from me, hard lesson learned this time

Dave ,

Can you post a picture (if you have 1?) of the position of the camshafts when they are set correctly for future reference , for anyone else who seems to be having this problem , its strange that me and Dom have both had similar issues.

Got car back, its suprising how fast a stock Edition 30 is when you havent driven one for a while
Thanks to Dave at PDtuning for sorting it out in the end
Now lets see if I can recoup some of this 7hr labour bill back from the so far un-named Vw specialist.....................
