Whatever ape broke the cam pulley in the first place has also damaged the threads in the head for locking off the cam. Yet another stupid repair I'm going to have to do because of some mong. I hate buying a new car to find shit like this.
Get at it and get it donestop wrecking that GTi!!
Got the new pulley from Johnny on last night and the new belt, put the stupid thing back together now lol
Fair play to the 6 though, hasn't missed a beat doing 60 miles a day, returning nearly 35mpg and just being generally amazing to drive. Kind of don't want to get back in a diesel now
