Done a bit of Googling , it appears to be a 10mm Ribe socket, which looks like a torx but has squared off edges.

Thanks mate.
I just bought one off amazon for delivery tomorrow, When i did my cam chain i snapped a cheap one of these and then bought the original vw tool.
Hopefully it will not snap again.

Yep - Are the cams out of the head? If so put some petrol around the valves to see which ones leak.

Can see most of the inlet valves are bent from the pics but they all need removing to check properly

I have not taken the cams out. Can this be done without removing the cam adjuster? I lent my locking tool and socket to some members and never had it back  :sad1:

Not sure as never done the job on a TFSI personally.

They'll need removing and the rocker assemblies checking for damage too.
