GTI cam adjuster/phaser wear - ALL DONE ✔️
mjmallia:
The VVT solenoid valve may be stuck or dirty, as all the info i see on them at idle is upto 7ish %.
I will have to take it out and give it a clean
ZoliWorks:
Honestly at that point just replace it. I've got mine, I think INA, for 20 bucks. It's been a long time so dont quote me on the log numbers just yet xd
mjmallia:
Just to close this off for people.
It seems that the duty cycle (group 91, block 2) controls the oil flow in the solenoid to keep the timing in check
less than 50% retards timing
more than 50% advances
50% locks the timing without adjustment
So a good result for me here.
Numero9:
how did you get the tools via TPS, I need to tackle the same job but the TPS near me won't sell to none trade anymore!
mjmallia:
I used to work at the VW HQ and know all the guys (some are good friends) at the local TPS where I live, so that is my access to them these days
