2014 Polo 1.4L Petrol

My water pump failed so badly that the timing belt has jumped several teeth and the motor would not start.
I replaced the Waterpump and Timing Belt, no joy on starting.
I am in the process of removing the Head at the moment to see the condition of the...

Hi All,

As per my intro post I'm getting a Tiguan 162 in early January and this forum has been a wealth of information, particularly Golf R exhaust and IS38 swaps!

I haven't found a clear answer to this question in the forums....

Hi all, picked up a bit of a project. Car has the 2.0t AXX motor and is showing 0 compression in cylinder 2. Initial thought was valves so I have started by taking the intake off.

hi all,
my wifes 2010 gti would not start suddenly last night, iv checked a few basics (codes etc) and found it has zero compression in all 4 cylinders. With a little research im thinking the hydraulic tensioner has failed causing valves to hit when trying to crank it over?.

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice regarding a lumpy idle on a 2008 spec GTI.

I bought the car with 106,000 kays on it, and the idle was dead smooth. Within a month or so it started to get a little lumpy every now and then.

It's become progressively worse ever...

Hi Guys,

I've had a bit of a search and couldn't find the specific info I'm after so please bear with me if this has been covered elsewhere.

Quick questions:
1. Can a failed intake cam adjuster allow cam timing to advance and retard to the point where valves can...

Hi All,

I recently purchased an MY15 Golf R and the exhaust valves are permanently open.

Using OBDeleven, I did output tests on both the left and right sides and could clearly hear the flaps opening and closing. But whenever I read the live data, they are set to open at...
