Thanks for the suggestion. Is it the n205 valve?
Was this what was wrong with yours Rob?
Hey Dom
The problem with my car was that the dealer just set my cams wrong but the dealer and seat swore there was nothing wrong
Since then they have said that because it's a variable timed engine it don't make any difference lol.
The part I'm talking about is actually part of the variator the big aluminium bit on the right hand side of your engine, this houses the chain that drives your cam shafts and in there is a spring and pin mechanism which is suppossed to lock in place on choke , but the springs can become weak or broken.
It's just another thing to rule out mate.
Didnt someone also have a broken cam shaft sprocket which have similar issues to what you are experiencing?

Keep your chin up buddy I went through sh*t for 3 1/2 years to find my issue.

Got nice valve marks on the pistons, new rocker rollers in and cylinders still leaking :scared:
Don't know if it's from when the cams were put in wrong and caused damage that has got worse, badly reassembled cylinder head refurb or something else. Statllers has assured me they will sort it out for me :notworthy:

Have you informed the bunch of muppets who did the work?

That's shocking !
Feel for you buddy
When you say pistons still leaking you talking about a leak down test?

Looking a that you'd think a key way on a cam or crank gear had worn or broke causing the timing to dance around causing contact.
Saying that to make contact your talking more than 1 tooth out so hope it's not done too much damage and you get it sorted once and for all.
Do you think that last time you got it sorted that was just the effect that was fixed and the original cause has always been there?

Dom, you should gather all evidence of the faults that have been caused due to this engine rebuild and present them to the place that carried out the work, their mistakes must have cost you a small fortune by now.
