URGENT oil pressure stop engine
dazza:
I feel for you Pesky i know you've asked a few times about the camchain and i think it was on your to do list.
Well done on tracking down the problem.
Pesky jones:
Ive made a video to explain everything as it will be easier to show what the situation is, but its taking an,age to upload.
In the cover I found one part of the broken chain, couldn't find the other bit so its lost somewhere. I also found bits of the broken tensioner.
The tensioner had a few bits snapped off and was completely loose, I dont know if you can see in the photo but its lopsided. When you push it down oil seeps out around the seal, so this might explain the oil oressure message.
When I tried turning the inlet cam it would turn slowly, and then suddenly "snap" round with a load of force. Doesnt feel right at all.
Yeah dazza youre right it was in my do to list :sad1: should have trusted my instinct and done it asap.
Il upload the video as soon as its done

Now comes the decision time - price of his engine http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,105134.0.html and what needs done to it or Get an idea of a cylinder head price http://www.cylinderheads.co.uk
Sequence:
Wow that sucks :( at least you know you were right about the chain slipping/snapping.
Pesky jones:
Yep that is a small consolation lol
Judging by the state of the tensioner, can anyone tell me if that would explain the oil pressure message on the dash?
What do people make of the turning action of the inlet camshaft?
