Well the cold-starting still isn't perfect so my thoughts had turned to the glow plugs... No fault codes from the engine are showing up on VCDS so I turned my attention to the glow plug circuit and under one of the measuring blocks for the glow plugs it came up with the value of 12.46v at...

Well, I thought I should report my findings from today. Armed with the measuring block info that the torsion was -2.9 and that the fueling was 0.4l/hr I decided to have a go at adjusting the front cam first and then do the rear.... The front cam went OK, and after about 5 attempts got it to...

I've been doing a bit more digging and looked at measuring blocks 13 and 15 as well. All the injectors seem to be in balance with each other, and the fuel consumption at idle seems to be around the 0.6l/hr mark. The only thing that seems way out is the torsion at -2.9? So, I'm going to have a go...

Well I gave the engine a scan today with VCDS and no fault codes we found. I then decided to have a look at the group 4 measuring blocks and this is the result; Address 01: Engine (03G 906 021 LG) 11:42:53 Group 004: Pump-Jet Valves 819 /min Engine Speed (G28) 0.0 °BTDC...

Thanks for the replies guys.... Yes it has been re-mapped (I'll come to that in a minute) about a week ago. The vibration was evident on the first journey home after buying it when driving it at motorway speeds, like I said I put it down to perhaps a badly-balanced rim or two....same for the...

Thanks, is that a check I can do once I get the Ross Tech cable?
