Hello,
I have a little problem with my 1.8t low revs between 1200rpm and 2200rpm ish, sometimes when im pulling away slowly in first gear it will hesitate only once like a misfire bit the whole car will lunge it makes me shoot forward if you know what i mean? other times it can be small and other times it will just have a flat spot untill the turbo kicks in and it will be fine, if i boot it you cant feel it,it will also happen in 2nd but not as bad, the car is completely standard apart from a cat back exhaust, it also has full volkswagen service history.
I have vag com and have the
16396/P0012/000018 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Advance Setpoint not Reached (Over-Retarded) most of the time because i think my cam chain tensioner needs replacing, havent had chance to look at it yet.
16395/P0011/000017 - Bank 1: Camshaft A (Intake): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced) i have this one too sometimes but i think its linked to the p0012
17705/P1297/004759 - Pressure Drop between Turbo and Throttle Valve (check D.V.!)
If anyone has any information on this or have had this problem before, i would really appreciate your input, thanks :)

Cam chain tensioner will be the cause of the first two. Enjoy searching for the problem causing the third fault code, could be anything from a hole in a breather to a broken clip on a boost hose...
Basically the AUM compensates for a boost leak by upping the boost at the turbo until it hits the required amount at the MAP sensor.

ok mate, thanks :) have you had to replace a tensioner before? is so what's the job like? fairly straight forward? I've had a quick look for a boost leak but I read about the standard Bosch diverter valves being a cause of this last code too? do you think it's linked to occasional misfire too?

If you need help with cam chain or tensioner I've done a few now lol

Nice one, thanks mate! Will it be ok to drive till end of january? That's when I'll replace the tensioner :)

I'm interested in information about the chain and tensioner.

My car does this aswell if im trying to drive carefully like crawling in traffic ect the g/f always moans at me and doesnt believe its the car and not me lol theres no way I have a boost leak or anything as there is nothing original left of the boost hoses vac hoses ect and it brings up no fault codes what so ever !
-
I tell a lie I still have the crappy c clip hose thing on my charge pipe I really need to get a agu version ....
-
yeah mate but it's mainly in first and is very annoying! haha :) mine feels more like it pulls better bottom end than when the turbo kicks in sometimes, is yours like that too?
-
Na cant say ive noticed that to be honest only the surging in 1st its very annoying!
