Good Evening,
Would have loved to have met on better terms, but, as with any vehicle issue I always come to the forums because of the wealth of knowledge. Bought the wife a 2013 2.5 Passat SE April of last year. We bought it in South Carolina and just drove it to Texas after I got orders to Sheppard AFB. We both LOVE the car and have had zero issues with it until last week. Started running very rough and threw a P0011 Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1). I called a local VW mechanic and he suggested starting with an oil change (timing is run off oil)??? I know nothing about VW's, (Ford diesel guy here, but I love to learn). The oil had about 8,000 miles on it, synthetic and 502.00 compliant, it did look very used. I have not cleared the code yet, would that still be causing it to run bad? Any other options I have before I get it towed to a mechanic who has the expertise and know-how? Once again Thank You and any help would be greatly appreciated.
