Hello,

is there a way to check the synchronization (torsion) of cam- and crankshaft on CFFB engine with VCDS? I mean the same parameter as given by Group 4 on PD VAG engines.

My VCDS current version is as follows

VCDS Version: 16.8.3.1
Data version: 20161010 DS267.0

Thank you very much in advance!

Uwe, thank you for the reply!

My questions is not about the auto-scan, but rather the measurement block(s). The parameter I am interested is not present in the scan.

I am wondering how I can see the synchronization of cam- and crankshaft on new VAG TDI CR engines like CFFB with VCDS. I used to check the torsion parameter in Group 4 on TDI PD engines. Is there a similar thing on VAG TDI CR's?

Maybe, just maybe, the parameter block will be present if you use the latest version of VCDS?

And maybe, just maybe, it would be helpful to know exactly what ECU he has, which would of course be shown in an Auto-Scan. ;)

We kicked this around at the office a bit yesterday and none of us found an answer.

One question that was asked is: "What makes him his cam and crank are out of sync?

Another one in my mind is: Why do you think data like that, which was important on a PD engine (with cam actuated injectors) is going to be available on a CR engine (with completely computer-actuated injectors)?

Also, what you posted there is is still not a complete Auto-Scan. ;)

If You have bad timing a fault code will tell.

Uwe, thank you for the reply! I find this kind of measurement useful for monitoring the tooth-belt (aka timing belt) condition. With time belt gets stetched out and I could see that with my 1.9 PD TDI. I am hoping to find a way to inspect that on modern VAG CR TDI's as well.

Changing the timing tooth belt on PD TDI's, it was very easy to install it 1-2 degrees off, and many people complained about rough idle and fuel economy. It is not just the injection timing, but also the physical intake and exhaust valves' timing, which cannot be compensated by the ECU, except for the actual PD injection timing.

Btw, what is ENG106252 Synchronous angle for?

Good question. Unfortunately, VW does not bother to tell us these things.

PD injectors are also electronically controlled.
Valve timing in these TDIs (be it either PD or CR) is VERY important (as well as CR pump timing, opposed to what most people think/say).
CR belt is very long (160 teeth) as opposed to PD belt (120 teeth).
Besides in the TB path there are much more rollers and idlers (1 tensioner + 3 idlers on CR vs 1 tensioner + 1 idler on PD). Over time/miles they get worn (actually by 140k km all idlers except the large one have play and bearing noise) so free play is introduced. This impactis timing as well.
The belt is prone to stretching, more or less, too. It's 25 mm wide, as opposed to PD which is 30 mm.
And finally CRs have almost twice as long TB replacement intervals as PD had (120k km for early PDs and 210k km for some CRs).
Removing TB cover to inspect the TB system is not that straight forward on CR as it's on PD - much more components will need to be removed.

So monitoring the cam/crank sync angle makes sense.

Answering OP's original question:
try to find a measuring block with something as "start of synchronization" in it's name. I believe the engine must be running for that. However, if I remember correctly, the reading is a bit different than what you were used to see in PD engines (degrees between crank and cam).

Hello All. I’ve got the same engine, but I cannot find ENG106252 Synchronous angle in advanced measuring blocks? I seen on other various posts, engine codes like CAGA for e.g. allow this channel to be viewed, is their an alternative IDE I can view? Oh how I wish I was back on CAN, alas, efficiency allows it not.

Please post an Auto-Scan so we can see exactly what ECU you have and what ASAM data it uses.

I wonder if the below is of any use for monitoring, especially the camshaft position, start less end = sum of angle? Or along those line:

IDE00021 Engine speed 777 /min
IDE00351 Main injection: start of activation -4.00 °
IDE00365 Injection amount deviation cylinder 1 -0.36 mg/stroke
IDE00366 Injection amount deviation cylinder 2 0.23 mg/stroke
IDE00367 Injection amount deviation cylinder 3 0.50 mg/stroke
IDE00368 Injection amount deviation cylinder 4 -0.37 mg/stroke
IDE00394 Camshaft position: start of phase window 122.78 °
IDE00395 Camshaft position: end of phase window 250.84 °

I don't see it in the data for that ECU either, sorry.

Thank you for the swift response. Tis seems I am doomed. I don’t see why VAG can’t do this across the board, where timing/crank-cam correlation can be seen via VCDS. Unfortunately, the garage that did the initial work failed epically (wrong crank locking pin!) Although rectified, I suspect my fuel pump & cam isn’t as per spec (good enough to run & not flag any faults-is that even possible?), to elaborate, as one of the posters mentioned on this site (https://forums.ross-tech.com/showthread.php?7889-Help-please-2-0TDI-CR-Cambelt/page2), when the pin is locked for the fuel pump, this is the optimum level for the pump to operate. Which I assume will also lead to better fuel efficiency.
