Morning,

In an effort to get to the bottom of the rough idling on my Superb tsi I have bought some replacement cam magnets. I will also clean out the solenoid. My question is, are they just a straight swap out or will i need to reprogram the engine or click my heels three times or anything else I should do/know? 

just swap, afaik

magnet N205 06L 109 259 D - Steel bolt: 9 Nm - reuse // Aluminum bolt: 4 Nm + turn 45 degrees - replace

 

you might consider also

oil control valve    until 2016/06/13 = 06L 109 257 F        after 2016/06 = 06L 109 257 H            after 12.4.2022 06L109257G        until 12.4.2022 06L109257H        35Nm reverse threaded

 

Thanks very much Dilino. I see the socket for removing the valves on EBay for around £30. Does this sound right? Lot of money for a simple tool!
