what is the exact fault. If is says cam correlation error it means the timing is out which will make hard start.

Sent the van to Vw for 150k service an requested the timing belt be changed....so they set timing an they could also not fix the problem... to me it's as if its a fuel related problem

Are u still getting the cam related fault code? If so, post the entire code here.

Just because it had been done by a dealer, doesnt mean its 100%. Some dealers dont know what they doing

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:
