Hey guys.
I just joined and this is my first post. Let see how a tough one like this can be fixed with forum support! :smile:
i need to jump in here and hopefully someone can help me. I have a 2006 BPY FSI DSG, bought it as a basket case from the previous owner who was moving. Long story short the PO ran the cam follower into the cam and trashed it. Dealer didnt want to warranty it and he went after VW and they just paid off his loan on it. The dealer purchased some used cams and all associated parts in order to get it running. They guy threw it together and could not get the "timing right." So i redid the timing belt and installed a new water pump. the timing belt was off by 3 teeth... I also found a collapsed roller rocker (was sideways?) I was able to loosen the cam girdle and get it straitened out.
The car ran but was hard to start and had NO POWER off the line. Once it got going it seems to drive ok...deff under-powered. I knew the cam chain tensioner was bad due to the noise. So i removed the cam chain cover and found the damn tensioner was not even bolted to the head!! Guy was a total hack. Lucky for me no real damage was done (that I could see), so I bolted the tensioner back onto the head and the noise went away. Car still has no power and engine seems to shake at idle. NO CODES present at this time. When the roller was collapsed I did get a "low boost" code or achieved boost not achieved.
I purchased the cam lock tool, cam thingy hex tool and a new tensioner/chain. I CANNOT get the cams to line up in order to insert the cam lock. I am going to guess that this is why the car has no power...its out if time?! Now since I cannot lock the cams to remove the chain, what do I need to do in order to get this thing timed right? I am in over my head a little, but with the right guidance I think I can save this motor. Even when it ran with almost no power, I didnt smoke or knock, so I am guessing valves and compression is ok?!
Can someone give me detailed instruction on how to proceed? I have all the tools but dont want to deal with taking the timing belt off again if the issue is with the cams not being synced.
THANKS!!!
