VW Golf R came in for diagnostics as it had warning lights on the dash and running issues. π
We had fault codes for misfires and timing issues.
We checked live data, not currently misfiring, the specified and actual timing specs were all healthy.
Cam magnets were checked and unfortunately they were allowing oil to pass through to the electrical connections. β‘οΈ
Spark plugs were replaced as they were very old.
Car will be rebooked for new cam magnets, spool valves, chain cover gaskets to rectify the oil leak, and the common water pump and thermostat housing as that has is heavily leaking π¦
We also advised the customer to get his alloys sorted π
