Didn't you change the cam adjustor sensor? And it was running well?

I had the same issue with mine only solution was to change the adjuster it's self. Not cheap though over 300 quid just for the part then labour. Very quite now and no errors! Hope this helps.

@Carl123 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9031) did you buy a new cam adjustor sensor?

@ginge 0116 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6934) Yh I just find it weird because it didn't have the problem before the chain was replaced...it also gets quieter the longer it's driven :/
@dazza (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10457) Yh sensor was changed also very irritating now!!

If the sensor wan not new i would say it could be faulty. Cant you bodge a connection on your old one to test it.

Might have to try anything I've still got the old one aswell worth a try I suppose @dazza (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10457)

Also googled about this problem some ppl say do a oil and filter change and it sorts the problem but I'm not totally convinced!!

I would look at the sump oil strainer pick up pipe as a possible for oil starvation rather than the oil and oil filter.
