P000A code
« on: February 03, 2018, 02:21:36 pm »
Hi guys,

I keep getting this code pop up, I did have low oil pressure light as well. I have replaced the oil pick up pipe and that has sorted the low oil pressure problem but I still get the p000a code come up. Sometimes after 40 miles sometimes it takes 140 miles. Has anyone else suffered similar problems ? The code reads “a” camshaft position slow response bank 1. “A” is the intake side so that narrows it down but I was hoping it may be a common code and people can point me in the right direction? Also the engine takes a long time to get to temp. Could this be something to do with it ? Cheers 👍

Yeah I’ve seen a few solutions but I didn’t know if maybe a few other owners have had this code and all fixed it with the same solution. Looks like I’ll start with the cheapest and easiest option and work through them until it’s solved 👍

I have the P000A code too. Had it for a while but now the EML is on as well so gonna have to get it seen to. @Mark_DF05 if you could do a "How To" with pics that would be great.

It’s a nightmare lads, I was meant to be getting my car remapped with r tech Friday and now I’ve got to wait until I solve this problem before I can take the car to be mapped. 😭😭 if you fix your problem please let me know how you sorted it. Also this code doesn’t bring the light on straight away I scanned my ecu just to check before remap and this code was on there along with another two. Deleted it changed the oil pick up pipe and it took 130 miles for the code to come back and it pinged the engine light on this time to.

Don't stress mate, buy the part from VW or TPS and put it on yourself before Friday or get R-Tech to do it. From reading online it's a fairly straight forward job.

@Shoy1980 I’ve got to go and collect some parts from vw Wednesday so I will order that as well, get it replaced and see what happens but from searching the code online it comes up with things more along the lines of the timing, cam sensor or something to do with the intake side of the camshaft. 👍

Sorry @Shoy1980  I just saw n205 and didn’t look at what the part actually was lol that may be the problem I will definitely replace that first and see what happens, thank you 👍

No worries mate, I believe the part number for the n205 camshaft adjustment valve is 06F109257C.

N205 isn't cheap!  I would log measuring blocks 91 - 93 first to make sure the cam timing is correct and the cam adjustment behaves as expected.

93 should be in the 0 to -4KW range
and 91 should show target and actual cam angles, which should match.

It could just be some HPFP follower dust got in the valve, or some crud from the blocked pick up.  It might just need a good clean out.

I can't see a faulty valve taking 160 miles to drop out.  Electronics tend to either work or not work.  It sounds more mechanical to me.

Hi mate, how do I log measuring blocks 91-93 ? Is that some sort of vagcom process?

Yeah certainly is.  I assumed you had it as you were able to read fault codes, or is a generic scanner you have?

In VAG COM 93 is called "Cam phase position" and 91/92 is "cam phase angle" or something.

You go into the Engine module, advanced measuring blocks and then find and tick those 3 channels in the long list.   Or any tool that can read live data can do the same.
