The part on my car is Febi 31976 as shown, But when I look at timing belt kit at Euro car parts, this is listed for my car, with just a circular tensioner. Does anyone if there was a change over at some point on the B6 Fsi Awa engine. Thanks in advance. Paul

The compression test was done hot / cold with and without a squirt of oil and WOT, the hot result was a couple of psi higher. The leak down was done hot / cold and no different with the readings.

Compressor set to 100 psi, connected the leak down and calibrated to the set position locked the regulator then connected to the plug hole. The test gauge read 20 to 30 psi and a 5% leakage, I even connected to air line direct to plug hole and got a slight loss through the oil filler as you...

If compression leaks through bad sealing of valves at TDC wouldn't the leak down be a higher percentage than 5% that I`m getting.

Hi, just did a leak down test with only a 5% drop, leaking from the oil filler cap, from what I`ve read this is blow past gases which is acceptable. My main question is how can this be with a low compression reading averaging 100 psi, surely the leakage would be greater. Can anyone explain...

Hi, does anyone know what sort of compression I should be getting from the above standard engine. I`ve did a cold test with pot 1 105 psi, pot 2 110 psi, pot 3 95 psi and pot 4 was 90 psi, I repeated the tests with a hot engine plus a hot wet test with hardly any increase in psi. I know the...

Hi Ovid, on VCDS the timing is all over the place. When setting TDC with rod in pot no 1, would it be when the rod peaks on its way up as there is some crank rotation b4 the rod starts to fall back down. If this is the case I'll reset the timing and check the cam lobes on pot no 4 are pointing...

My car has a rough idle and when revved seemed to smooth out to a degree, i used VCDS Lite and came up with 17748/P1340/004928 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) / Engine Speed Sensor (G28): Incor. Correlation. Fitted new cam and crank sensors plus new cam chain and tensioner, but no different...

Used VCDS Lite, P1340 cam / crank corrolation fault . New cam and crank sensors, new cam chain and tensioner. I used rod in cylinder 1 to check tdc and the crank was spot on, had to remove cambelt of camshaft to correct the timing mark, released the belt tensioner and turned the crank to check...

Hi, did you manage to sort the rough idle problem out. Only mine sound the same as yours, I`ve replaced the chain and tensioner and cam / crank sensors, also the timing is spot with the marks. Thanks Paul.

Hi, I have an Fsi 2.0l AWA , which has timing trouble. I removed the cam cover and the rear chain cover in order to replace the chain and tensioner, I can see the inlet cam is out of phase with the exhaust. I did notice slack in the chain across the bottom run, would that mean the chain has...

Checked with VCDS as my car is idling and misfiring badly and came up with 17748/P1340/004928 - Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) / Engine Speed Sensor (G28): Incor. Correlation I replaced cam and crank sensors, as a straight forward job and the same fault occurs. Just removed cam cover and...

My car has been running faultless and really pleased with it, out of the blue started running rough on idle and to a point of almost stalling. Ran VCDS and picked up camshaft / crankshaft sensor fault, went for the easy option and replaced the cam sensor as only a 2 minute job, still running...

Just a quick question, just replaced fuel injector ( pig of a job first time round ), after removing to egr valve assembly from the end of inlet chamber to replace the vent hose as this broke near the valve cover, I noticed a fair amount of oil residue lining the inside of the inlet chamber...

Had 2 compression tests done and were good, the chain cover with N205 valve replaced as a couple of control rings had broke.
