Thanks, Im going to give the carbon cleaner a shot when I get home today. I'll report back to let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!

Default Change the cam adjuster pads while you are in there

Order this item x2:

VW AUDI Camshaft Timing Chain Tensioner Pads Set x 2 w/ tool shoes Cam Adjuster | eBay

Also, when you count the chain links between the intake and exhaust cams, the number of links is DIFFERENT from the left and right bank. One of the tensioners is upside down from the other. I'm blanking on the link count, but BENTLEY has it wrong. Not the same on both sides. Someone lucid will chime in with the details.

With respect, I have yet to see the Bentley that has the link count wrong ... I've seen several home mechanics that "read" it wrong.

Anyway ... my Bentley has it right >>

quattroworld.com Forums: Funny, my Bentley says 16 rollers on bank #1...15 on bank #2, which IS correct >>>>

Cheers

Sam,

Thanks for the fact check. My early Bentley disc, on an old laptop saved for this purpose, in version 2.5 r01sp0003 ONLY mentions 16 rollers between the marks. Later versions have it right. If you are using an online version, you're golden.
