Hey all,
I drive an 07 GTI 2.0T FSI engine, BPY engine code. I'm seeping oil from the cam carrier joint and am planning to go in and reseal it with the VW green sealant. Not intending to replace camshafts or anything else under the carrier, just reseal it.
To do this, do I need to lock down the cams with some sort of cam-lock tool? Remove the timing chain? Reset timing? I haven't messed with timing before, but I'll end up paying a lot more if I mess this timing up. I know I need to remove HPFP, cam follower, etc. but I don't think those interrupt timing too much.

Any feedback appreciated, a DIY guide would be even better!
