Did you align the camshafts correctly? Did you replace the CAS correctly?

i alligned all the marks on the timing belt correctally and as for the CAS i just unbolted it and bolted it straight back on again. jp

The CAS doesn't just "bolt straight back on". There are any number of threads on the subject of refitting the CAS - find them.

what i did was unbolt the whole thing from the engine block so i didn't just take off the cas i took the other thing off behind it aswell. there was no offset key so it just bolted straight off, not marking anything

to fix my problem i had to bring engine to tdc and move the cas 1 tooth at a time and start the car and repeat. took a few turns but worked incredably well. jp
