they tend to misfire when cold, the pin gets stuck with oil slug, as the slug in the magnet warms it works normal. Shot parts cleaner straw through the small holes. The pin will free fall when cleaned no need to buy a new one.
I had one, about a month back, on a Passat that I replaced same part on. It would intermittently run rough. The plunger seemed to work ok when you would flip it over..must of had a week plunger or solenoid. The thing set like 10 codes all from that one issue lol.

Lol if youre going to replace the magnet you might as well replace the camshaft sensor snd value spindle, the spindle is in where the magnet goes, you can see it where the magnet is removed.
