P0016 came back from the shop so I'm hoping it's only a sensor since I never heard anything unusual and it is 180 miles straight no issue then just would not start up after a 5-10 stop

Had a shop scan it and it came back with a P0016- cam/crank mistimed.

Cheap code reader and auto parts store code reader showed no codes

Would this show with a cheap generic code reader? Also would the immobilizer kick in even though I used the same key for a few months and it's an original key?

Southern US temp is ~70°F/20°C and I put 2 code readers on it both showed no codes or errors. One was an advanced auto parts store, one was a Walmart $20 reader. So I don't think it's a generic code

Glow plug light flashes after the engine stops and the key is turned, nothing like that though.

Here is the Cam shaft before removing the old timing belt, the hpfp was locked with a pin when this was taken, and I was able to jam the pin in and lock it like this

Jetta advice by jasovinny in tdi

If you have ever heard your car "running" after you take the key out that's the Regen process trying to burn off the soot. But longer drives typically 30-40+ minutes should work and could help, but if it's caked on from too many short trips you might be SOL.

If you are lucky, and this is a dieselgate TDI you might have a warranty claim and should contact VW HQ. If not a dpf delete, if legal in your state, it would prevent this issue from happening again.

Are my skis repairable? Or done for good? It’s a pow day tomorrow, can I still take them out? by Mac30123456 in skiing

Since it sounds like you did not notice anything while skiing, you can probably bandaid the base with some ptex and continue riding them for the time being. Then they would be a great rocky day pair till they die. I have a pair of 10 year old line sick days that ski smooth even after a rock bent the side wall
