Good to have you back

Great to see you back Dean 👍👍

Good to see you back dude! Hope you're good. Would like to see what you're going to do with the Porsche as its been a while. You sold any of the other cars recently?

Omg, I thought you'd given up on life! Good to see you back 😊

Great to see you back Dean...we've missed you.

He’s back 👌👌👌👌😃😃😃😃

Great to see you back again, Dean! 👍👍👍

Good to see you back Dean. Wasn’t particularly into the golf project until now, don’t know why, I am now! Looking forward to the mods. Interested to know what you’ve been up to.

Good vid nice to see you back👍

Excellent vlog as always Dean glad you are keeping well how ironic today my 2018 Corsa 1.4 automatic was running rough idle and hesitant today checked it out was p0171 code system too lean bank 1 I think this may possibly have occurred from yesterday was going to service change oil filter air and pollen but I took off the oil filter first and the motor factors gave me the wrong size so I had to put the same one back on but luckily didn’t drain the oil so shall be servicing this week once I have the correct filter so may have been the pressure who knows although I have checked over and cleaned the maf sensor as well with wd40 contact cleaner best regards to you mark from billericay 😃👍

Nice to finally see you again haha… make a vid letting us know what you’ve been up to as you mentioned on Instagram

We want to know what you’ve been up to 🧐 the suspense is killing us 👍🏻 good to see you back doing what you do best 😜

Welcome back! Missed your videos man, tell us what’s been going on.

Great to see you back Dean, cmon spill the beans!!

Great update video, be interested to see what the issues are and what mods you have planned. Also interested to hear what’s keeping you so busy

When you do take it for a tune. I’m sure the tuner will be able to tell you for sure if you’ve fixed what ever it is or whether it’s still a problem.

Welcome back, i was starting to get worried you'd given up!

Normally on that valve on the end where the 2 holes are to undo it there is a little button in the middle and that pops out causing bad idle

Nice to see you back. Would love to know what you been upto please.

Nice video. Can you please show us how you performed the basic setting using Vcds? Was the basic setting for the adaptation of the timing chain?

I’m sure you have already checked,I had similar problem,I had defective exhaust system,between catalytic converter and pipes being collapsed on inside and sensors being defective.just saying.informative video,what happened to going full time in shop,keep doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎

:( having similar issue with my 8p tfsi. Thanks for the video. Big help.

Would love to see more videos from you I’m constantly checking KZfaq for one. Would also like to know why there hasn’t been as many 👌

Nice to see you back in the unit! It's hard trying to find intermittent faults, my question is you've done a basic setting reset, but not explained how? I'm assuming with VCDS, Would you mind showing or explaining please. Keep up the Great work, 👍, any update on the Porsche? 😁😁

Check for carbon buildup on your valves. I had idling issues, and cleaning that and the intake manifold out fixed it

Wonder if somebody's done a crap remap and you've just re set it? Looking forward to see end results

Definitely 😊 you need to share.

Congratulations on reaching 58,400 subscribers

Oh, it's um, what's your name again it's been a while 😁. Glad your vloggin again.

Yay!!!!! Missed you brother.

Missed your content, great there is a new video.

I have a private runway too, it's called the m8 it's mainly private around 4am when am of to work, I had the same issue with my cupra and it was a boost solenoid,

Are you using Super Unleaded? Otherwise I’d guess it’s carbon build-up, glad you’re back and looking forward to the Porsche when time permits.

Those solenoids are a pain in the arse when the oil is shite,had the same problem on a ford focus with the variable valve timing solenoid, so you're probably right with a new filter and decent oil... I've been told Alot of people remove the metal meshes to stop them getting clogged up too 💁 but each to their own

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN 🥲

That music made me think I was watching Legit Street Cars 😋

Thankfully your back lad, was starting to get withdrawal symptoms ....🙏😅. So what's kept you away from my weekly fix of you fixing cars then.....🤔

I’ll be getting that silkat bag Out of the coolant reservoir if it can be Removed I just swapped out the reservoir there only cheap It will rupture knowing your luck

Reason please. Missed your videos.

Try a BG Ear or MOA, its a oil flush but a restoration. an try BG44k. You will not be disappointed. I done it in my W205 and now flys like a rocket.

Previously mentioned massive respect for grafting your balls off for the family

Top upload again 👍

Nice one Dean

Had a similiar issue...was variable camshaft control....would also randomonmly stall on idle -- fault was "setpoint not reached..nightmare to find...looks like same as yours!

my car does this when its warmed up and idling....ive detected low resistance in a injector and possible clogging of varnish .....running premium fuel and sprayed throttle cleaner into engine whilst running

I have 2016 GTI manual which has a similar issue but slightly worst. So when the car is cold, it gets lumpy every time I lift off the throttle and coasting up to a junction with the clutch in it even cuts out sometimes. I do think I should have a full service done on it as I have bought it unseen from an auction but I still think it is more than just a service. Can you help please?

Come on dean spill the beans 👍

Fresh oil & filter then try an Italian Tune Up ?

Love the video as Normal. Not gonna lie of all the KZfaq sponsor hate YFood lol. Would love to see car related sponsor if they have to be there

Where have you been, missed your disasters!!😂😂

Awesome bud cheers 👍🏻

Long time no see!

I hope things are okay with you all Dean

i think you need to change the solenoid valves. Common problem. Had it too.

I remember when twin cam engines were lovely to look at

Had the same problem on my 2017 S3, same symptoms and error codes, turned out to be stretched timing chain…

It's not had E10 fuel in it has it dean. I had it in mine in my rare 1999 astra 2.0 16v sri and the car ran terrible even though it's compatible with it. Put super unleaded in it and not missed a single beat since. Would never use that E10 again no matter what car i had.

That use to happen on my mk 4 golf crank sensor was a fault

You should go to Santa Pod and chat to the guys there about draggy times and see the reaction.

Make sure it’s not got a shocking map on I’ve had it on a couple off my cars

Keep up...🙂 We all want to know everything 😉 you could definitely hold classes for other youtubers... 👍

Moooooooar RS4 vids! 🙂

Noticed an airbag cable on the passenger seat and that you've got some buttons missing on the GTi steering wheel, some shenanigans going on there?

Did you make a video of the Passat Clutch change?

Have any of the cars sold yet

hmm is the "Private Runway" an A or B I'm pretty sure its not and M :)

Probably your large seal between engine and transmission I had a similar problems and changed almost everything and then had my car smoke tested and it was large seal all problems gone. Seal is cheap but labour costs about £200.

What metal sump did you use ?

use obs studio to record your screen, no watermark free and uses less resources

Maybe it had some mods that were removed but the map was left on.

Any news on porsche?

I've got an audi s3 8v 2014 with what seems to have the same fault code, however not really the same symptoms. My fault code says it's ( A camshaft position (bank 1) but as a brief description it says Timing over advanced or system performance? Don't really notice anything when it drives though. Any advice would be great 👍

I have got a turbo intake bend and pipe with a filter for sale if your interested

What was the "cheap oil" brand you put in it? You said 5w30 but did you use the correct spec VW 507 00? What is your opinion on Quantum oil from TPS? Anyone else in chat use their oil?

Hopefully the rs7 plug tips don’t melt and drop off like they do in some golf r’s and help screw the piston,

You’ve used Samcrac music!

Of course we want to know, show us the house / wife / ring / baby or all of the above

Vacuum leak or maf

I am sure you have plenty on but if you want to make this a full-time job you need to put the commitment in. It's as if you have lost interest, so many projects started and not finished and lately big gaps between uploads which impacts your growth. Surely you still owe your mate for the Porsche, a project I am sure many have been looking forward to but it's just been gathering dust. Last two uploads have been unstructured and all over the place. Don't give up put more into the channel as you have done the hard part.

Where you been ?

If I drive behind an older VW Golf GTI it almost always smells of oil.

Will the Porsche ever be finished ?

just letting you know, DO NOT USE RS7 PLUGS the tips fall off, causing engine failure and the lumpy idle will be the cam magnets on side of timing cover, common issue
