New car purchase Leon Cupra
GTI_Kyle:
Not having much luck with this new car so far! EML come on last night "p0011 intake camshaft position timing- over advanced (bank1)" :fighting:
On my gti this was because the chain had stretched causing the car to sound like a bag of spanners with a big loss in power, however the leon sounds perfect, and drives as it should.
Maybe just a camshaft sensor?

Bloody heck more niggles then I'd like to have when buying any car but it's never easy.
Clear the code and wait till it comes up again and then replace sensor as VAG cars are little w****** and sensors like to play up :signLOL:

I know mate but got it at a good price so a few niggles are allowed I guess, plus its only a weekend car so not end of the world :smiley:
Had a full engine flush as the oil was like mud! Oil change with fresh fully synthetic & new filter, cleared the code & hasn't come back since :happy2: fingers crossed nothing else pops up

You need VCDS on there to check the timing. Check the condition of the plastic connnector on the camshaft adjuster, If it's split then you need a new one. Could be a few things
