Thought I'd come back here to update the cause.

Issue was the injector seals / o-rings between the fuel supply and fuel return galleries in the head. Clamping off the return line so the fuel...

Thanks. Have looked in VCDS and definitely getting what seems to be a normal reading (increases with revs, consistent at idle). The ECU also throws 'implausible reading' when the MAF is connected but...

All good, protrusion looks normal

How difficult should it be to rotate the camshaft with the injectors in? I'm feeling a lot of resistance

Do you mean check they all reach the top of the stroke? ie no bent rods?



Maybe, I'm going to hate myself if I find something like that wrong haha :cookie: but I have been over all that in...

This is where I'm at... :)

Had everything off to do timing, found I couldn't turn the camshaft at all with any...

That was with the exhaust disconnected at the turbo - I had it off to see whether it was blocked or if the turbo seals had failed.

I can't work out the smoke either. I have re-set the timing but...

Welp, still doing it. Fine for 20 - 30 seconds after first start, revs, boosts, no smoke, can drive it up the street fine and it pulls like a train

Then, no revs, stalls after a bit.

I'm...

I think I have identified the issue. I disconnected the diesel fuel feed / return lines from the tandem pump and supplied power directly to the in-tank pump. Diesel came out of BOTH hoses at the same...

Bump...

Have stripped the tandem pump and reassembled with new seals, there were no signs of wear or perished seals so I doubt that had any issue. The internal mesh screen was totally clean also

Thanks, I have done. As above. Turbo is fine and even if it weren't it wouldn't prevent the engine revving in the way that it is

Bump... anyone here have any idea?

Hi all, please check all the dot points!

Per the title... I have a 2007 1.9L TDI Golf, BKC engine. It won't rev, if i hit the pedal it runs rough and will eventually stall out. It behaves like...

Got a cable, big thanks to the guy who loaned me it

Yep VCDS won't do it, got to mess about with some other tools

Hey all

Anyone in melbourne have a cable handy I could lend to try and sort out my replacement dash cluster? The immobilizer is insane on these vehicles.

This is for a 2007 MK5 golf so cables...

Cheers, good to know. Belt and tensioner kit was recently done, it's only got about 10,000km on it

Hey all

Does anyone here have experience with these engines and can run me through removing the cylinder head? Particularly just the timing belt, I have the manifolds and fuel pump off already.

G'day Folks,

Just acquired my first ever VW, a project car . It's a 1.9L tdi manual MK5 Golf, engine code BKC. Suspect the head gasket is blown due to not being installed properly, have got a new...
