VW Passat misfire FiX

[sophiatekautz]

VW Passat would misfire on and off for months. Engine and RMP would rev/ car would bounce. Got to the point it would just randomly die while at a stop light. VW mechanics and another shop couldn’t trace the engine code that randomly comes on and off. Spent over $1000 trying to fix this. So far this is working! Thank you!

Passed this info onto a fella today and think it will solve his issue of multiple misfires. Its good to have fellas like you around. Its greatly appreciated.

i had the same random misfires. i just removed the magnet adjuster it had oil inside. i cleaned it. put it back and vwallah
because before i couldnt go past 2k rpm in 8th gear and 2.8 in 7th gear. now i feel like hitting the rev limiter in 8th gear and my kick down is back thank you for the video

Thank you bro! This is exactly what my issue was with my 2017 VW Passat R Line. I had a shop that specializes in VWs and the dealership not figure it out. I went through so much for 2+ years before coming across this video and fixing it myself. Once again thank you

have a 2015 passat TSI and this worked wonders. I appreciate you putting this on the internet.

[Really]

Thank you for the video. It's so simple when you know what you have to do.

This fixed my problem just here to clarify in case anyone else has this issue! Car is back to normal! And it doesn't die anymore randomly when slowing down LOL

I had one, about a month back, on a Passat that I replaced same part on. It would intermittently run rough. The plunger seemed to work ok when you would flip it over..must of had a week plunger or solenoid. The thing set like 10 codes all from that one issue lol. Lean codes, misfire codes, timing codes, fuel pressure codes..crazy that one part could set all that. Knowing what data pids to look at helped a ton though. Good find 👍

they tend to misfire when cold, the pin gets stuck with oil slug, as the slug in the magnet warms it works normal. Shot parts cleaner straw through the small holes. The pin will free fall when cleaned no need to buy a new one.

Fixed my 2014 Jetta 1.8. thank you sir!!

[donhohler]

It's called a Camshaft Adjuster Magnet

[PacooGuadarrama]

Mine was misfiring and changed that part, it solved the problem

[jayramirez]

True. I was saying for testing. I have one that has a misfire that jumps around, sometimes it’s 1 and 3 or 3 and 4. Coils and plugs are good. I still have to do a compression check, and I have no intake leaks.

The dealer tried to charge me $650 to replace this. I did it myself with an amazon part, works like a charm!

[nicolai]

This fixed my misfire problem. Great tip!

[jojohnny]

We are thank you for the info. God bless you!

I just used carb clean in the inside of the hole 2-3 time that cleaned it but make sure you use the straw than hit it with some all purpose lubricant inside and out and fixed the problem but make sure you spray the lub good

[mpho]

Had the same problem. P0011 code. Didn't replace it..used a multipurpose lubricant by spraying into one of the holes..went out from the other hole with some thick sludge..and vice versa. Code cleared and no more misfires.

Lol if youre going to replace the magnet you might as well replace the camshaft sensor snd value spindle, the spindle is in where the magnet goes, you can see it where the magnet is removed. If your going to remove the magnet might as well replace that lil bastard as well. Also for these engines, change your oil regularly, 5w -40 european oil.

Thank you, you save me 1200 in dealer bullshit fees in my 2017 VW Passat and i was also able to change myself the part only cost me 55 bucks.
