Hi Folks,
I have been having some issues with minor idling only at a stop and in park on my 2015 Q5 2.0T clocking 110K KM. The car does a little shaking motion that comes up from the driver seat up every few seconds. This is more prevelant during a cold start and gets a bit better once the engine heats up but I still do get this bouncy sensation. My mechanic tried so many things (Spark Plug, Ignition coils, air oil sparator, low fuel pressure sensor, Walnut blasted the valves, checked injector pressure and intake) but could not isolate the problem and we know the error code relates to P0301 cylinder 1 misfire. I've been trying to resolve this for quite some time and I am not sure what to do next to resolve the issue. The shop did say that I should use Shell gas for the next little while and stay away from Costco and give the ECU sometime to adjust to the new parts.
One more thing to add. Yesterday I swapped out the engine cam shaft position sensor based on a youtube video that I watched that had the same error code as my car after replacing plugs and coils and he said the issue was due to a bad camshaft sensor. I replaced the sensor and after driving for a while the light did go away but I still can feel the blurb from the car.
I am stuck at this point and I was hoping anyone had similar issues like mine.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to our forum
I did read a.n.other owner who found the camshaft chain tensioner at fault.

Thanks I'll talk to my mechanic to see if this could be something that's causing the problem.

was the tensioner the issue ?

The misfire hasn't disappeared but we think it's due to faulty injectors at this point. I have been using Liquid Moly Direct Injection cleaner. Misfire has been alot better. At somepoint in the near future I will have to replace the injectors.

I would do this soonest. Whatever the cause, a misfire will cause more damage to the engine.

I called my local VW specialist about the problem and he has advised that it would most likely be faulty injectors. The mentioned that injectors should be replace instead of being cleaned. The misfire at low idle during a cold start is most likely from leaky injectors I explained to him that it only happens during idle and cold start and he said 99% likely that injectors need to be replaced. I'll circle back when I have it fixed.

Cheers
