drop in power until 3000rpm, FINALLY FIXED BY STATLLERS!!!!

So does that mean that your cars crank pulley has slowly been turning round? And I presume that the crank must have. Even out of position?
Did you have timing pull when you logged your car with this fault

Explains why the ECU was struggling trying to control cam and crank signals.

Well, I got my car back today, what a difference it has made!
A Massive thanks to Steve JNR at Stattlers

Its been in various garages for the last year to get the car finally fixed, various issues from a botched engine rebuild.
So basically loads of work done by stattlers to finally solve the problem.
First main issue was thought to have been caused by quite a few broken rocker rollers


after the cylinder head was changed over for another one, as cylinders were still leaking, car still wasnt right.
was then narrowed down to this, somehow the keyway has mysteriously vanished from the camshaft toothed belt pulley



After the latest Revo software was installed, car ended up producing this



Once again, a massive thanks to Steve Jnr at Statllers, car is finally fixed, and running perfect

[Hedge]

That sounds like good news finally.

Phew! Always good to hear when a problem gets solved. Now start enjoying your car all over again... A second honeymoon! 

[Andy]

Glad to see it sorted finally after all the hassle with it over the last year,NOw get it on the stand at vw fest

Really pleased for you mate , I know what it's like to finally get your car back all fixed and I know the smile it puts back on your face and you remember the reason why you bought it in the first place.

Just out of interest how much have you spent trying to get it all sorted out from all garages ? Are we talking half a new car?

Yep,  had a nice grin on my face on the drive home

Just engine repair bills were at about £4700 in total before Statllers touched it, don't want to disclose the last bill. Just happy it's all sorted now

[stealthwolf]

Yikes but congrats. Time to change the sig?

[PDT]

Where were the broken bits from the rockers? Find them?

What was the cause for the leaking head?

[GTI Osprey]

I've had a nightmare couple of months with mien running rough ... but read your thread a few times to know things weren't that bad.


Glad its all sorted

[whiteatom]

Glad you are all sorted, Steve @ Statllers knows his stuff. If you do decide you want to sell let me know !

[Statller-Stevo]

What was the cause for the leaking head?

Yep all broken parts found and catered for  
I'll post some pics and in depth details when I've got a minute (if that ever happens)
The main reason for all this was the toothed crank pulley locking key way was bust, the male part had vapourised probably over tightened with an impact gun before it was correctly aligned, this just left the bolt to keep things timed correctly which obviously didn't work out.
The key way slot in the crank was badly damaged too, took a lot of filing and playing around to get the pulley to lock back in correctly I thought the crank was scrap at first!!
The slight valve to piston contact bust some exhaust rockers, we originally tried swapping just the rockers but still got way too much leakage.
In the end the Car ran nice and strong on our rollers
Like i said more exact details later when I've got a bit more time

Glad Doms happy now    

[Andy]

just shows you a litttle piece of metal like a woodruff key can be so important--good to hear its all sorted now

[damoegan]

So glad your at the end of all your problems, Dom
