Hi, i have a golf 5 gti 2005. The check engine light came on and I scanned with an obd2 and the code was p011 - Camshaft Position A - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1).

I changed the oil, bought new vvt solenoid, i Also tested the wires.
I clear the codes had a ride and the check light came on. The code was again p011. Is there any chance the timing chain has jumped? Did anyone have the same problem? Any advice will be appreciated.
