Thanks! I had to search for two hours before finding this video. Too bad there aren't many schematics of the full engine / electrical connection. I've the same problem after having fixed my 6-year-long issue with rich mixture (it was the broken stock engine cover, fixed with aftermarket intake, that's ridiculous!!!). I really hope it's just a matter of electrical contact or just the solenoid being clogged or gone bad and not the actuator. Engine runs almost fine, I just got the engine light on and a moderate loss of power. Going to check soon :)
Hi that is reallygoodvideo and help a lot.i have same code as yours on my golf gti turbo.did I have to replace just one solenoid on back or both ones..and also my wire plug is mess up like yours too
Thankyou. It depends on your car and its issue really. For mine i noticed the plug that was broken therefore only had to replace the one solenoid which seemed to sort the issue on mine. Change the one where you have the same broken plug. If that does not resolve it then you could change the second. Obviously without looking at it i could not really give the best answer. But hope that helps. Thanks, Mr MSV
Hi, no i did not make the intake system. It was purchased online and i fitted it. Unfortunately i do not have a video of me fitting it. But I’m sure there are some videos out there showing the process of how to fit it. Thanks, MR MSV
Just so you know this will not completely fix the issue if you have active cams or ACT like my CPTA engine you will need to replace the failed 04e906048a part, to diagnose this unplug each one, one by one and find out which one is causing you the issue by using a scan tool like OBDELEVEN, you could replace all 4 although at £60ish per part that isn’t always an option for everyone, just thought I’d add this information since I have Actuator B Cylinder 3 which has become faulty, and there isn’t much information on this type of failure yet since ACT systems are in their infancy for the most part 😊✌🏻
Hello sir, i have a golf 5 gti also, and i have p0011 code, i removed the vvt and i tested it, i hear the sound of the solenoid but i dont see any movment of the solenoid. Do you know if the movment is visible ?? Since you have replace already. Thnaks aloy
The variable valve timing solenoid is a component of the variable valve timing system that manages the oil flow depending on the engine speed and load.The part i have replaced sorted the code for me. Im no mechanic but when i checked around the camshaft area i noticed my part was broken. It may be a different issue for your car. When you ask about the movement being visible. The valve solenoid valve goes into one of the components as you can see on the video so cant see it visibly moving due to this. Thanks.
Hi Mate, what problems were you having before you replaced the part? Mine had the same issue but it seemed to fix itself which showed the part eventually needed changing. All of a sudden two days ago the car is running extremely rough, heavy on fuel and the idle is bad however no engine management light. Thanks
Hi, mine was pretty similar. I initially got the engine management light to begin with but then it went away. This occurred for a while, the light was intermittent. However, my car did seem to run a little rougher. But for your car with what you have described it could potentially be the high pressure fuel pump which seem to be a known fault on these cars. Hope this helps.
This was a 10/10 informative video your engine sounds very smooth mine sounds like a ticking time bomb 😞
Excellent vid... Just what I needed. I'll be doing this job at the weekend with an oil change 👏🏾
Got the same issue, by any chance does yours currently sound rattly? Like a diesel in a way because of the sensor
Excellent video just what I needed

Cant wait to see more content on the GTI | Nice video
Thanks for the support. Much appreciated.
Just what I was looking for
Glad i could help!
@@mrmsv5042 I've noticed an overall improvement in drivability, response, and shifting since replacing this unit. Thanks again
is there just one solenoid ? 6:22 what is that connector run to the other plug underneath the fat black wire harness ?
did you ever find out?
thank you for your good video and very good explanation

Great video mate keep making more, your good!
Hello ,did you make the intake system by yourself? If yes, can you make a Video of how to do it and share the BOM?
Hi, no i did not make the intake system. It was purchased online and i fitted it. Unfortunately i do not have a video of me fitting it. But I’m sure there are some videos out there showing the process of how to fit it. Thanks, MR MSV
Great stuff mate 👍
I have the same DTC I replaced the selenoid but the issue still, do you now if this selenoid have a fuse in the fue box?
I have change this but i have still same fault code ?

Good video found my problem!

I need to exchange this part on my Golf 6 gti Edition 35. Does somebody knows how much torque the screws needs?
Hi do you have to disconnect the battery to do this? Cheers 👍
Hi, not necessarily no. It is good practice to disconnect the battery, however it isn’t required tbh.
Fixed this then code p2008 please help dont know what to do now

@@mrmsv5042 ok thanks.

Have about the same problem.. also sounding pretty hard.. like you hear the cams very much..
Did you ever fit it? It may be the cam timing chain
Does anyone know the part number for this? Thanks
Hi, the part numbers are 06F109257C 06F109257A. Thanks
what was the problem ?
