To post a topic/question/thread on the site.....this one is simple asked on someone else's thread. I also need to change my address.....as suggested.

About 120,000. The reason I want to replace it (and thoroughly) is that it has been making the "normal" timing chain noise for years, but recently I think it has got worse - in particular, it isn't just noisy for 3 or 4 seconds after starting the engine, but seems to stay noisy until the first time I get the revs up. I'm hoping to not replace the car any time soon, so I believe I just have to do this before it's too late.

Thank you. It's interesting to me that they're free floating. I'm not a mechanical engineer, so I don't know enough to have a strong opinion, but I'm surprised that such a critical thing is done in this way - especially as I would think there is a lot of tension in the chain as it pulls the camshaft around against the force of the valve springs. I note from the procedure that when it comes to doing the second stage of the camshaft sprocket tightening (the further 90 degrees after the initial 50Nm), it doesn't instruct to leave in the crankshaft locking bolt and the camshaft clamp. So the camshaft sprocket bolt is to be tightened up purely against the sprocket counterhold tool, and the camshaft clamp T10414 is not in any way intended to hold the camshaft against this tightening - is that correct? It doesn't even say to check the timing again after doing the second stage tightening - so I assume there is no way that the sprocket can slip round a bit during that 90 degree tightening? Again, I want to not mess this up.

Yeah, I heard the other day watching an old(ish) John Oliver show. I will not miss it. I saw it live couple years ago when I was in the States and was utterly unimpressed ... far worse that in the photos, see it / touch it / sit on it ...

Hello! Is it still possible to receive the update file?

Try it, absolutely! You will get a feel for the different way the car behaves.

Wife managed to get her Samsung S23 into the wireless charger with the phone base flush with the charger surface, and still in its protective case. The phone then charged slowly, but commensurate with the claimed 15 watt wireless charger rate.

Yep, diesels are now less reliable than petrols and cost a fortune to fix. With all the emissions systems either petrol or diesel put out virtually nothing anyway, and the taxes on them are just money making scams, or at best virtue signalling, all the time driving UK economy downhill.

Im gone anyway. Not wasting my time here anymore.

I suggest all involved 'wind their necks in' otherwise people may find themselves taking a short holiday.
-
People like you stop people like me trying to help others. Been here before. Wind your neck in. Your triggering me now I am drawing a line now, want nothing to do with you in future.

Says he who is doing exactly that

Nothing special about any of it. It’s you saying it’s not possible, all doable with enough time and effort. The point is, I can get the missing features working on the car one way or another.

I have a 2015 Seat Toledo and my engine is a 1.2TSI CBZB. I will be replacing the crankshaft sprocket when I replace the timing chain and oil pump chain. This is the double sprocket that drives both chains from the crankshaft. I have downloaded all of the relevant official procedures that I can find from the ERWIN system. I cannot see any mention of this sprocket, but I believe it is the correct thing to do to replace it at the same time; it also comes in the HEPU kit that I am buying, which indicates it should be part of the replacement. I haven't yet got the kit, as I want to add all relevant parts and tools to my order. Therefore without having the replacement sprocket in my hand, I can't see whether it has any kind of keyway to align it correctly to the crankshaft. I have watched the few videos that I can find where this part is replaced, but I can't see details of the alignment. I know it is an interference fit, and I understand how to pull it off and press the new one on, including warming up the new one to about 100 degrees to make it easier, but I am nervous about the alignment of it, and the fact that I don't have any info available in advance, as I won't want to mess this job up! Any information, experience, or photos would be appreciated. Thank you!

What is special about that? This is not the right place to figure out who has the "longer" one—or whatever else you might be thinking. The purpose here is to have a professional discussion on the topic. And do not underestimate the competence of the other users here.

As I’m not allowed to mention other vehicles, you will never know. You my friend have no idea who people are on here or what they may or may not be capable of. At the risk of triggering, it seemed to work on my wife’s A3 MIB 1 to 2 retrofit recently. Never came with that system and all working as if it was factory fitted. Was a right pain swapping over the illumination LEDs from white to red to match the old colours

I used to retrofit LED headlights to T6 vans, I made my own looms and used genuine sensors lights and modules. I haven’t done an MQB platform retrofit so they may only have one at the back (that’s progress if they do) so I apologise if this is the case. If it reacts by going up when the load goes down, the sensor must be upside down. Try jacking the car up, does it go down then? If it does, that confirms it. I used my beam setter to dial in the basic setting first. Ah I thought it went to word 55 or 4B for the later LED type. Point taken re other cars. What I was trying to help with regardless of system, the input changes, and he is seeing a reverse action. Something is coded wrong or the wires are crossed. If he jacks up the rear of the car and the lights now go down, he will know it’s something crossed/upside down. If it still doesn’t move has the light reached its limit cos they set the lights without placing them in the basic setting first. They may have adjusted them to its limit stop, now it physically can’t go down when the suspension is deflected. Either way it’s not working and simply trying to help regardless of the system used, the principle is similar and simple. Should be easy to sort out.

Good advice, thanks for the info.

I see you managed to catch the low-flying rabbit; not an easy shot!

There isn't really a DIY reset for this. From what's been posted on here before, the Mk4 2.0 TDI has the DQ381 wet clutch DSG, and as far as I know any clutch adaptation or basic setting on it is done with a diagnostic tool, so it's a dealer (or specialist with the kit) job. The thing I'd watch is your warranty clock. Skoda UK's terms are 2 years unlimited mileage, then a third year only up to 60,000 miles, and it ends at whichever comes first. At 40k in 20 months you're doing roughly 2,000 a month, so you could hit 60k at around 30 months rather than getting the full 3 years. That gives you maybe 10 months, not 16. The terms also say a defect has to be reported to a Skoda authorised repairer as soon as it's discovered, within the warranty period. So I'd: Book it in specifically for the jerky low speed shifts (not just "have a look while it's in for a service") and ask for it to be written on the job card in your words, including when it happens (crawling in traffic, gentle downhill). Ask them to road test it with you in the car if they can't reproduce it, as low speed shift quality often doesn't show up on a quick drive. Keep the job card or email, so it's on record well before 60k even if they say "no fault found" this time. The warranty terms say any Skoda authorised repairer can do warranty work, so if your local one keeps brushing it off, it doesn't have to be them, even if the next one is a longer drive. And as it's a company car, your fleet or leasing company will want it logged before the warranty runs out too.

morning, do you mean your email address? or are you referring to something else?
