You're interested in the adaptation value. Ideally, it's zero, but as your chains wear, they will get noisy and once you get around -8 to -9 you can expect a failure. At that point you should have a significant amount of rattle, especially on cold startups.Address 01: Engine (7P0 907 401 K)

This post might just break this forum, as just about anyone I've ever met with a 3L TDI wants some sort of ability to check the potential doom of their timing chain skipping.
Edit:
Since there aren't too many users reporting values at the moment, I will keep updating the table for now to provide an easy to read reference.
The following information is what I've learned from reading way too many posts on the subject.
I strongly suggest that anyone with the ability to post their own details contributes to this so that we can come up with some consensus of potential feasibility.
Here are my values.
CNRB with ~150k (km)
I don't have any noticeable rattle or noise concerns.
You want your enginewarmishfully warmed up before taking the reading.

People with short OCIs and quiet chains report being around the -5 value at about 100-120k miles.
Post your details and let's see if there's any truth to these rumors!
Thanks. No idle rattle. Only occasional start of noise for 2-4 seconds.Added.
That's fine... you have a CNRB due to that year.I have -4.83, but I forget to take the engin code
its a 2013 tdi with 235k km
How often do you change your oil?I have -4.83, but I forget to take the engin code
its a 2013 tdi with 235k km
Does he use proper spec vw50x oil?How often do you change your oil?
Do you have chain rattle?
How can there be such a massive difference between your value and all other data reported by the rest?i have 2 touareg,
2013 CNRB 300 000km rattle randomly warm/cold startup: Camshaft was -15.1 degres (run prettey good 😲)
2011 CATA 270 000KM with right camshaft head tensioner and right camshaft chain brand new no rattle -1.01 degres
yes, i have read it cold too and its has the same reading as fully warmed at idle.That's crazy! Is that at idle and fully warmed up?
Super weird.... added your value to the table even though it seems to be way our of whack compared to the rest of the data.yes, i have read it cold too and its has the same reading as fully warmed at idle.
