Going through this right now. VW told me to replace the whole timing and camshaft. Are your problems fixed?

can we be honest that VW mechanics are actually brain dead most of the time and will drown your money while making you feel crazy and THEN fix it later. i can’t be the only one dealing with this issue

What code was it throwing?

This description doesn’t come up in the autozone search, where can I get it

@@1977pancakefrom the dealership bro don’t cheap out on extremely important and intricate parts like this and don’t forget to do oil changes at 5k instead of 10k miles!

How did you determine this to be your issue? My passat was driving fine then randomly starts to sputterm im going to run the reader on it. But i think this could be my issue as wellm

Can you make a video of how to change it out because my care is doing the same thing

@@jakekingsley3082 What problem is there in following the recommended 10,000 mi interval for oil changes?

I just did exactly that and works like a charm 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That's what happening to my 2001.5 Passat 1.8T. Does it have this part too?

Did you change the timing spindle as well. I would if you haven't. Not to hard to change.

@@yanbaihuzxzxzx no I didn't replace it. To be honest I dont really work on many Euros and at the time wasn't sure if there were any special tools to remove it. I didn't want to take a chance and damage it trying to remove it. It wasn't turning out easily so didn't want to chance it. But yes I would agree as its good measure to change it out as preventitive.

@@Raylude5 it can cause alot of misfiring, I changed all this, bought this passat of mine from a used dealership had timing chains and covers that had to be replaced. Magnet and spark plugs well after all that shit, car was still running rough. I said this 140 part was the last thing, replaced it and bam the car ran good ever since. The oil is the big factor in these cars. I wouldn't go past 5k without a oil change for these cars

@@yanbaihuzxzxzx Couldn't agree more with your comment about oil being a big factor. Will keep the spool in mind on the next one. I got lucky mine was just a magnet issue 🙂

Where did you get the part?

@@mpho1247 awesome 😎 glad to hear that worked

@@OzMechanics Thanks for sharing.

What tools did you use to remove it ?

Was it on one cylinder or all misfire cuz mine just saying cylinder 2 misfire I change plug and coil

????.

I have misfires an all cylinders, did changing this part fix it??

​@@gmann569T30 torx, I hear. Havent gotten to the hey bud project im supposed to be doin this on for a friend of mine. So, take that socket size with a deer season size salt chunk. 😂 If I get to doing the work this weekend, ill try to cmon back and confirm for ya.

Sweeet glad to hear this helped out

Was it hard to put on or easy ?

Easy

Thanks do you prefer the Mobil 1 or vavoline?

@@lostheartmega5388 if money isn't a problem royal purple

@@lostheartmega5388 mobile 1 is OK not great but full synthetic is the only way to go

⁠​⁠@@yanbaihuzxzxzxthanks I use Mobil 1 all the time but I put 87 in it and it started misfiring bad

@@lostheartmega5388 going to need to clean the intake valves, I use 93 expensive but gives the car what it needs fuel wise. Cleaning intake valves is next. 1500 to do it at my neck of the woods. Walnut blasting

The second part number is located where in the car bro?

@@JosePerez-lk5lr it's behind the magnet he pulled off, the magnet fits over it and controls it.

What code pop up was it p0302

@@JesusMoreno-td5dd I'm asking what codes pop up when that happen mine is misfire cylinder 2 change plug and coil still samething

@@art-ip4ue well my codes was misfire multiple cylinders and MANY MORE.. BUT haven't been able to fix the Problem yet but I'm going to change that magnet solenoid anyway...I have Spend over 1500 on different mechanics and still they haven't found the Problem I only KNOW that every morning I started the car I leave it at over 2000rpms for at least 10 minutes and the car drives FINE

What’s the part number?

@@JesusMoreno-td5dd wow thats crazy well mechanic guy I told him about that timing magnet tap part he said it's only if misfire all cylinder to replace it

Did you change the coil pack and plugs?

Same here on my a3 2.0tfsi 2016, try to check for any codes. I had an issue in the plug from the sensor, was all oiled up and didnt click in properly. Changed the plug. So that code (p105000) went away. Car is still running terrible from time to time tho. Gonna do an oil change and if that doesnt work i’ll be changing the camshaft regulator behind the sensor

Magnet

I'm not sure what it's called. But I don't think you walk into the auto parts and tell them I've got a Volkswagen model xxxxxxx I need a magnet.

@@CROFTY71 if you walk into a Volkswagen dealership they will. Cuz I just done it. They replace these quite often. Some kid working at a advance auto making 15 a hour won't know. Solenoid magnet, or magnet don't know what else to call it the avg mechanic will know.

Yes

Nope completely different engines

Did you find out the problem

??

That would be hard, because you need data

@@OzMechanics ok I thought so.. thanks anyway!

@@OzMechanics What data gave away the problem? idk what any of the live data means.

If your in chicago you can also do local pickup for free which is nice

????

Look at actual and desired cam angle

@@OzMechanics Thank you sir.

T30 - Torx

Did you solve the problem? If yes..how did you do it?

what was the cause of the low oil pressure? it's been 3 months, surely you must've found out by now?

Did it work?

@@christopherlewis6270 no. But, my spark plugs were black and burned. I changed those and cylinders 3 and 4 new spark plugs messed up already. Misfires are still happening. I bought new coils, spark plugs, camshaft magnet, seal gasket for that. Will work on that Friday. Maybe it's not the camshaft magnet.

​@@stevenepstein6454 did it work homie

@@stevenepstein6454any updates?? I have a Tiguan 2011 and I’ve replaced the spark plugs, coils, and PCV and I still have misfires in all cylinders along with rough idle and fuel too lean. Did changing the camshaft adjuster magnet help at all???

Did you find out?

First try checking for any vacuum leaks. Also inspect the PCV valve.

@@mpho1247 just replaced the pcv valve not long ago, I will check for leaks

@shawtylugoeshard9698 Ohk have u cleaned the throttle body? I've also seen the brake light switch cause that and no codes were logged.

@@mpho1247 I have not cleaned the throttle body. Will a regular obd2 reader read the Epc light ?

@@shawtylugoeshard9698 I absolutely have no idea at all. Please share when u have resolved the problem.

It’s a 60 sec video I try to put as much as I can in the small amount of time I have

Have you figured out the problem? Mine is doing the same thing. I’m going to replace the magnet and clean the solenoid.

I did high pressure fuel pump then injectors and mine runs CLEAN.

Not expensive at all. Febi sells an aftermarket version which he probably had and the vvt actuator is well priced too

Yes it can. A bad VVT solenoid or cam bridge screen can cause P0341 as well as P0011 along with misfire codes on all cylinders.

@@cali2468if not fixed, could it cause long term damage? My vehicle has an engine light but it behaves perfectly fine. No misfires or other symptoms. Thank you for answering my question!

It doesn’t

My magnet doesn’t take as long to fall as yours in the video but it’s inconsistent sometimes faster sometimes more sluggish does it mean the same that it’s bad?

It can also be an injector gon bad or built up carbon on your intake valves.

@@OfficialYoungDiz thank you!

@@OfficialYoungDiz update: i had got my timing chain done and now it’s off to change the vvt today.

So what was the issues I replace coil 2 and spark plug and engine light comes on and traction control light

@@art-ip4ue I got an update for you, so I had done all the work on mine, replaced all the coil packs and spark plugs, cam shaft magnet solenoid with timing chain and it sorted out all the problems related to it. I had about 237k kms about 180k miles. Therefore regarding to your TCS, it is on because your bearing gone bad, and with it your sensor too. Though if you tell me your mileage i can give you a better answer.
