You done messed up AA-ron. I replaced both camshaft control valves and the intake camshaft adjuster magnet. I had a ticking sound that would go away if I unplugged the adjuster magnet on the intake side. I figured why not replace both control valves THIS IS WHY. It was working, but I figured if one malfunctioned it wouldn’t be long until the other failed. I used VW OEM valves from ‪@fcpeuro‬
I’m hoping maybe ‪@HumbleMechanic‬ or ‪@shopdap-vwandaudiparts7461‬ will see this video and have some advice.

Also, the spool valves were redesigned and not sure what car this is but maybe this spool valve is too small and it's just sitting in there not threaded in? Would explain why it won't tighten or loosen. Hot glue a bolt onto it and see if you can't pull it out.

I used a magnet and pulled it out, my wife's recommendation and it worked. It just doesn't fit. It's the wrong part.

Cam and new valve are not compatible. They stopped making the old valve. The only solution is to swap the cam from what I have found.

Unfortunately those are newish cams. They’ve only been installed about 2 years.

Take it back out an inspect the threads.

This issue was that it was just spinning so it wouldn’t thread in or out. After stepping back and examining my life choices and eat some lunch, my wife recommended I get a strong magnet to pull it out and that worked first try. Since the old one worked I just reinstalled the old one (dropping all sorts of things down into the belly pan in the process).

@@aallien Yeah, sounds like the new one is the smaller revision and doesn't match the cam.

Did you ever get this issue resolved?

@aallien Год назад

Yes I was able to get the valve out and put the old one back in. I have a video explaining how I did it if you want those details. It's riveting....it isn't.
