Well, an update on this. I took it to a VW specialist, who did a scan. He said there was nothing in the history to suggest a faulty camshaft variator, and that I should drive the car and see if the...
So, I spoke to VW this morning.
As I suspected, they wont do a thing.
I can get a new timing chain,tensioners, guides, and all other parts, including the new variator, replaced for $2150...
Does anyone know what the part number is for this camshaft variator? 1.4 TSI, 2008/2009. I can't help but think the dealer is gouging. They quoted me $630 for an evap purge valve and charcoal...
That's a good suggestion. What's weird, is that I can't seem to find much at all on these components, and their failure in the mk5 golf. The dealer note that the vehicle was ok to drive, but I have...
LOL, that sure as h*** wouldn't happen. There is no way I will be buying another watercooled VW, thats for sure :)
Indeed. Honestly, I really like the feel and drive on my Golf Wagon. And the power for that little 1.4 is great. But if I ponied up for the full cost of repairs since I've owned it, it would be...
They'd have to subsidise a huge chunk of it. And I can't see that happening.
To be honest, I've over this vehicle. From the stretched timing chain, and now this... The vehicle is only seven years...
Well, I had the problem diagnosed by the local dealer. Cam Variator? needs replacing. A whole list of parts and 12 hours labour. Total cost: $4267.
No thanks. It isn't worth the repair. Time for a...
Just had the diagnosis. Camshaft Variator? needs replacing. 12 hours labour, and a long list of parts. Total repair bill of $4267.
Time for a new vehicle, and it wont be another VW :(
Interesting. I've just found this thread. Just under two years ago, my 2009 Mk5 1.4 TSI wagon was diagnosed with a stretched timing chain. VW replaced the chain/tensioners with the revised parts...
Tensioners and guides were replaced at the same time. I guessing I need to take it back to the dealer, and see what they'll do.
I think it's fair to assume the repair should last longer than two...
In July 2015, I had my Golf repaired due to stretched timing chain. It was a VW "pro rata" repair, meaning they covered 60% labour, and 100% of the parts.
Now, exactly two years and 25000km, the...
Ok, I got the unit fitted. It proved to be a bit difficult to remove the trim, but I got there in the end.
The unit functions great, and the audio/Bluetooth functions perfect.
The only problem...
Well, the unit arrived today. 4 days shipping from China to NZ, which is pretty good. The unit was packed well, and looks great.
I'm just waiting on the antenna adapter and some trim removal...
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had seen that link (one of the reviews that convinced me to get it). I've googled the manual, but nothing has shown up :(
As above, does anyone here have one of these in any electronic format?
Regards,
Mike
Thanks for the replies. It sure sounds like a lot of work. I don't think I need a RVC that bad :)
What was the biggest hassle? The wiring, the mechanism, or the actual dimensions of the handle?
Has anyone successfully retrofitted one of these cameras into a Mk5 Golf Wagon?

I recall seeing either an ebay...
Thanks :) All ordered :)
I'll update this thread once I receive the unit, the adapter, and get it installed. Hopefully there will be no problems.

I didn't purchase the model above, I purchased the RCD330G Plus, which doesn't have a CD player. It has USB, and SD (plus Bluetooth), but does have a bigger screen. This model doesn't...
