2012 cc 2.0 tsi (stock as your grandmas cc)
so i drove the car home from work and car was fine. this morning i go to drive to work and it idles rough, so i shut it down and drive my truck.
just got home and looked at the cel codes and got p050, so i unplugged my maf and started up again and still chugged. i then took the intake filter box out and started up again just in case the charcoal crap thing may have been messing with it and still rough idle but this time i got misfires in all 4 cylinders and then p05a popped up. clearly something with timing now. i do not want to unplug the cam sensor to force it into limp mode because im 99.99999% sure its not a bad cam sensor.
so im at a cross road, has anyone had good luck with this code. ive called 3 shops and all basically quoting me about $6k for a new engine if there was a valve kiss. if no kissing happened, it will be about $3k.
im almost thinking of doing a k series swap... or parting out the dsg and few other parts and buying something else if i cant figure something out.
any advice? i know tldr :frown:
