Only way to be sure is to borrow someone's VAG-COM and check measuring blocks 208 and 209 with the engine running. Chains within spec should read no more than -2KW. F'cked chains usually read -10KW or more. Beyond a certain point the ECU can no longer correlate the cam and crank position and will throw the EML. I think that number is around -12KW.
Brilliant, thanks again!
No worries. Forgot to say, the tolerance range VW quote is -8KW to +8KW. So I wouldn't worry about it if your readings fall within that range.
