Use the timing branch
If the electrical inspection does not resolve the fault, verify mechanical timing and oil pressure with vehicle-specific repair information. Avoid treating a new sensor as confirmation that timing is correct.

Match special cases precisely
For chain-driven 2008-and-newer Volkswagen 2.0T examples CCTA/CBFA, Ross-Tech cites TT 01-15-08 covering camshaft, adjuster bridge and spool valve. On certain V6 engines, recent engine repairs also make flexplate installation relevant. These checks are engine-specific.
