If you have a look through the inspection faq then down the bottom there's another link which should work as you're now joined. If it doesn't just give it while and try again. Anyway I think you'll find the info you're after.

They aren't pressed in, they just lay there and are clamped by the caps. See the article for tools.

ok thanks guys theres a colt stage 1 and stage 2 camshaft which one can i use if both whats the difference

[Seatman]

Theoretically the stage 2 should add a small amount of power but I don't know how much you'd notice. kermatdi sells them, you could ask him for more info.

Just wanted to introduce myself and I wasn't sure where. This forum has already been a huge help! I was attempting to leave my wife's 2006 jetta BRM alone, I have enough other projects going on. Unfortunately I have had camshaft failure. Going to do the egr delete while i'm in there. so The question I have is what sensor is causing the low egr flow code? I'm not aware of a delta-p sensor or pressure differential sensor, whats the deal?

[chittychittybangbang]

The car knows through MAF and 02 sensor how egr flow is. If you delete it you'll have permanent CEL, must reflash the ECU to remove the light.
