Could be a broken spring on the rear

All sorted now, lovely quiet engine again. Job took around 2 hours start to finish, biggest pain was trying to get the bolt out of the vvti unit on the end of the cam. f##k it was tight

All sorted now, turned out to be a faulty fuel pump module,

Car has done 110'000 rattles when warm, and you can hear it when you turn the car off. I know there are timing marks wondering how many chain links between the exhaust and inlet cam timing marks.

Hi guys, I'm about to do my timing chain on my 2.0fsi mk2 Octavia engine this weekend and was wondering if any of you guy/girls knew how many link or pins go between the timing marks on the exhaust to inlet cam?? Cheers for any info.

Hi guys/girls. My problem started last week while driving to work when my car just stalled at the lights, it's a 2ltr FSI non turbo. Started straight away but then stalled again restarted and the finished my commute.. When coming home, started car, it then stalled then restarted and ran faultless all the way home. When home it struggled to start stalling multiple times. I've had the HPFP out to check the cam follower and apart from a small amount of wear all looks good. I do have a small code reader but it doesn't show any code when the engine stalls. Any info would be great,
