Where can I find the diagnosis for the variable camshaft properties?
When in idle, I start noticing a slight rattle or clicking akin to a Diesel engine. After some research it appears, that that‘s due to the ill-designed oil pump from VW which allegedly delivers an insufficient oil pressure in low RPMs (800-2500). That in turn is to cause the variable camshafts to act up.
It could also be the variable camshaft control modules. But atm it feels kinda pointless to exchange them when the issues probably stem from the oil pump.

bollistiic : Hi. The answer to your question really does depend on the type of engine that is installed in this car.
I suggest that you fire-up OBD11 software and connect to the dongle - then look through the options in Live Data on the Engine module @ address hex01. Use the search feature to hone-in on likely-suitable entries Don

dv52 (Australia) Oh, right. Forgot to state the obvious: it’s a 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen3 from a Golf R 7.5 Thanks for the pointers! Will give it a shot and report back.

dv52 (Australia) that worked perfectly. Although, for some reason I was only able to toggle live data for camshaft 1. The values seem fine: I’m still a bit unsure about the standard manufacturer oil pressure as it appears to be very low at lower rev ranges. On the other hand the internet isn’t necessarily flooded with low oil pressure issues for the EA888 Gen3 2.0 TSI. Doesn’t really help that I have ocd ears but limited knowledge about engines, so I tend to worry too quickly. So far the engine is about 3 years old, immaculate service history and has run about 40k km. They ought to last about 300k km ...buuuut you never know. And the sooner you spot engine faults, the more money you can save.
