Title: Cam timing
Post by: 99hagued on August 20, 2017, 02:22:58 pm
Was playing with vcds last night and checked my camshaft adjustment values does this look ok or not. No fault codes and car runs fine but it look further out than others Iv seen on the net.

It's close enough. Remember engines are analog and take time to respond and settle onto it's targets.

Check 093 as well, which is how far off the cam is from the expected angle. -1 to -3KW is normal.

That's OK.

Mine was at -1KW when I did the chain last year but has since drifted to -3KW.  The chain links have 'settled' in I expect.
