Sputtering with a P0016 + more...

basically they are waiting for approval to replace the bent valves and the timing components, or replace the whole engine.

Either way it seems like a win-win, besides not being able to drive my baby. I just lowered her the day before she crapped out.:laugh:


It seems as though this issue is far from common. Was I correct in believing there are no other threads about this issue on MK6?

 

[dubbinit]

I do wish I was the technician working on it though! I should do forged internals while I'm at it LOL

 

[mully]

I still can't believe another manufactuer has this issue. Honda does as well, but that was with aftermarket cams in.

[dubbinit]

Hopefully that tuner can tune. Should be well above 400whp considering the turbo.

That turbo hasn't even been tapped. I know my popcorn is ready.

Have you seen the link with all the comparison dynos with it? Urgh, still want that turbo.

I suppose it is getting pretty serious. I have been told they are waiting for a response from VWoA to direct them in the right direction as far as what they should do next--VWoA should be in contact within 24 hours.

Timing is definitely out of rhythm, and I have been told it is either my timing chain or my damaged valve-train...or a culmination of a failed chain and damaged valve-train :mad0259:

I know it’s been ages but hopefully you find this. I’m yet another victim of these same codes. What ended up being the problem and how did they solve it, also at what cost?
