Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        So I'd be asking what caused the dropped valve...

          ...a weak/broken valve spring, dislodged valve stem collet comes quickly to my mind. So, the mechanic who did timing belt, doesn't have to be at the fault.

            In my opinion this is extremely rare. I have been a member of the T4 Forum for 10 years that has over 151,000 members, mostly with the 2.5TDI engine & I can't remember anyone ever posting with a dropped valve.

            Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

              Valve stem broke just behind the head. This got belted around and chewed metal off everything. I have a low k motor on its way to replace mine.

                Bummer, so is there anyway that this should have been picked up, or just one of those random crappy things?
