2011 GTI
135,000 miles
Chains and tensioner replaced my local VAG shop less than 5000 miles ago with OEM parts.
Car was throwing intake code 008213 for a couple of months but still getting 30MPG.
One day I was getting a miss fire so decided it was time to rip it apart.
I'm doing valve cleaning, new intake manifold, sent the injectors out for ultrasonic cleaning, and new water pump.
I noticed that the far right intake valve is not opening or closing when I turn the motor over. All other valves operate properly. I have spun the motor by hand and by cranking with the fuel pump fuse out. The valve never moves, stayed in the closed position at all times.
When I was doing the cleaning I may have spun the motor counter clockwise not knowing till after the fact to spin it clockwise. I was only spinning the motor with pulling/ pushing on the belt so I didn't get many turns on it. Even then I never remember the valve opening or closing.
When I cranked it over with the battery/ starter nothing sounded "bad".
Thoughts? Did my screw up throw something off with the timing?
Wouldn't more than one valve be doing that if that were the case?
.
EDIT: Someone from another forum suggested the valve may have bent BEFORE this causing the misfire.
I just pulled the codes and the codes are -
008213
000768
000770
000769
008817
000772
On another note 1 of the 4 injectors would not stop leaking and the cleaning company suggested replacing as it will leak fuel into the cylinder after the car is off.
