Mirez Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 thanks big kev but my car is going awful like it is only running on three cylinders and i would like to know if this fault would cause it any ideas thanks Yes is will, it it can't work out where the camshaft is it'll throw all the timings out and run horribly!

big_kev Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 You still need to clear the fault first to make sure......this fault code have been from a while ago and may misdirect you......the fault could be something entirely different. However if it does immediately come back then it will certainly be a major cause for concern. Quote
bigtee Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 thanks again big kev you were right the worst happened the cam shaft was gone , the problem started a while back so i took it to a vw garage and they advised me that it could have something to do with the flywheel so i changed the flywheel and fitted a new clutch kit but the sound that was coming from the engine got steadily worse and the air box was jumping about with the force off the blowback coming fron the cylinder so i have been told that it is the camshaft as they do give trouble so i am putting a new head on the galaxy next week . lucky enough i had one lying about as this is a new engine after my last one give up the ghost last year i have to say that i have not had any luck with the car and since i had it i have replaced the turbo the engine the flywheel and now im going to replace the head . i thought these pd engines dont give trouble ha ha i am really fed up with the car as i dont have anymore money to spend on it i would like to know if anyone else had this sort of bother or is it only me thanks again Quote
