Title: Camshaft Compatibility
Post by: joestella28 on December 22, 2014, 07:24:47 pm
Hi All,

Firstly, I'm not a Golf owner so go easy  :wink:

I've a 2007 Leon Fr (TFSi) that has a cracked sprocket on the inlet camshaft which has caused the timing to slip (sprocket has rotated on the cam).

What cams will work with the BWA engine (i.e. those out of an S3 etc) or will only a BWA item fit? I really don't fancy the £260 from Seat  :confused:


Thanks,

Joe
