Hi everyone, I'm currently experiencing fault code P0014 on my 2014 Volkswagen GTI Mk7. The car exhibits a rough idle and a very weak cold start.

Before taking it to a dealer or service center, check the engine oil level and condition — old or low oil can contribute to P0014 faults in VW GTI Mk7 models due to poor lubrication of timing components.
