Hey everyone,

2002 Passat 2.8 30V ATQ

Been trying to find a picture or description of cam position cup proper installation. This car i bought, I see the cam chain adjuster was replaced, I found the chain was at 15 links, but it ran fine. It is now at 16 links, and it ran better before. It is sluggish and cannot get any rpm trying to drive it. There is no popping or mis-firing, I used a bore scope and did not see any marks on the pistons, so I believe the valves are still fine. I have check and rechecked timing using cam bar and crank lock, and both sides have 16 links, and the cam marks are perfect. The last thing I can think to check is if the cam position cup is 180 off? So, with the cam bar in, where should the cup notch be?

Thanks in advance.
