@EuroX Thanks for this! This car is my son's daily driver - likely won't keep it for much longer - downside of trying the lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer? I read a few threads claiming that it may be possible to flush out the screen by draining the oil, replacing with kerosene, letting it...

Occurred to me that it's possible that pieces of the CCT rail ended up in the oil pan/screen. I cleaned up the head as best I could from up top - but who knows what made its way down. Also theorizing that it's possible that the intermittent low oil pressure warning (and condition) is causing...

Thank you all! I don't have the facilities to drop the pan (given the subframe is in the way). Any idea what an indy would charge to do it? Ballpark?

Thanks for your help! Switched the cam shaft sensor to a bosch unit - now it starts up and runs fine! However - got one instance of the "16395 - Bank 1 Camshaft A (intake) P0411 -008 Retard setpoint not reached (over-advanced) - intermittent - MIL ON" in the first 10 miles. Cleared it and it...

Thanks Doc. Won't start at all now (so no scan available). Worked better when the timing was at 17 rollers. Looking for someone to confirm that my alignment is correct per the photo @dareckim11 sent from the manual. Take a look at my pics and let me know if you think I have it right. The...

New CCT and CSS, Followed specs exactly. It ran with it off by one tooth (by my count it was 17 teeth - pretty sure this is now correct at 16 by my count.)

Hi all. Took everything apart again and reset the cam alignment. I believe I has 17 rollers rather than 16. Now it won't start at all! See my pics below. Can anyone tell me if I have this right?

Chain tensioner is brand new - Gates brand (which is considered quite reliable). Could this possibly be related to oil pressure? I know some 1.8Ts have issued with clogged pickup screens? Would a clogged screen throw any other codes or warnings? I thought that usually the pickup screen issue...

Thank you for your help! My cam alignment looks correct to me. As it sits, the exhaust cam notch at TDC (measured both by the timing belt notch and a dowel in the #1 cylinder) directly aligns with the arrow on the cam guide. Counting 16 rollers over, the intake cam notch is at approx 1:00...

Bump. Anyone have experience with this? If you've timed these before you know that there's always a lingering doubt about the 16 rollers count etc. Marks on the valve cover and exhaust camshaft wheel line up at TDC (determined TDC with the screwdriver in the cylinder method). Assume also...

Hi all. I've been struggling to fully repair my 2004 Passat. Began by not starting several weeks ago. Ran VCDS and got two timing codes: 16395 - Bank 1 Camshaft A (intake) P0411 -008 Retard setpoint not reached (over-advanced) - intermittent - MIL ON 16725 - Camshaft Position Sensor...
