*HELP* engine fault code no garage has been able to help

<< < (2/2)

pudding:
As above, if it felt like that immediately after a belt change, it needs to go back to recheck the timing.  Nothing else would cause that fault code except a failed VVT adjuster or solenoid, which isn't common.

Just speculating, but maybe they ignored the timing marks and just paint dotted the old belt, cut it off and slipped a new one on.  The engine needs to rotated by hand 4 times and verify the timing marks still line up before buttoning it back up.

VW:
Hi all thanks for your replies. I thought the exact same thing and did take it back to the garage after which the stripped the engine and checked the tinting again which was coming up spot on. I then took it to a vag specialist for a second opinion and they suggested replacing the hub vvt and control valve but again weren’t sure if it would resolve the issue.

VW:
Just out of curiosity how much is a vvt solenoid replacement?

I had the same problem after refitting a new timing chain. It turned out to be that when I set the timing I didn't place the chain in the correct place and count the 18 links back to the other sprocket.there is a vid on you tube of a guy doing the timing and explains about the links. Once I did this the code was gone and full power was restored hope this help
