Hey there I’m working on a 09 Passat tsi with the P0016 code, I replaced the solenoid and the cover for the VVT and when I clear the code it will start right up but as soon as I turn the car off, the code comes back. I took the front cover off and the timing seems correct. I’m not really sure where to go from here. Any info would be great, thank you.

Can be the oil control valve, or cam bridge I have videos on both

@@Motorcarnut I did inspect that and the screen wasn’t missing and it seemed in good working order. I did replace the VVT and the magnet mechanism.

A question I have concerns the tensioner and how to count the grooves. Does the tensioner move from left to right (from the housing out) or do you count grooves from right to left? So, if the clip is on a groove inside the housing, does that mean the timing chain is ok? I was shown a video from a mechanic who said the tension was on the 8th groove... and the timing chain needs to be replaced as a result. Just would like a better understanding. Thanks

Did you watch the complete video? You don’t count anything. Just install tensioner and release lock clip.

You mentioned that you prefer to have the engine out - - how much extra work is that and for a weekend warrior is this approach near the limit - cheers - love the videos - straight to the point not fat. - cheers

If you’re only doing the timing chain and guides then no I wouldn’t pull the engine for only that but if you had a rear main seal leak then yes you have to pull the engine for that. Because those rear main seals are known to blow if the PCV fails. And depending on your skill level it’s much more work to pull the engine if you don’t work on cars every day for a living.
