Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / May 20082001 Jetta diesel timing?
I found the timing marks on the flywheel. I found the marks on the cam. I don’t understand where the marks on the cam should line up. And i can’t find anything for timing the inj. pump. Please help me. :?:  SignaturePosted at author's request, using moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Thread archive: http://www.AutoBoardz.com/2001-Jetta-diesel-timing-ftopict247480.html Didn't you use the correct tools and lock everything into place before removing the belt? If you didn't, you're screwed. Have it towed to the dealer before you destroy the engine. If it's off by only one tooth, the first revolution will destroy the engine. And once it IS put back together, you'll need a Vag-com to set the injection timing anyway. >I found the timing marks on the flywheel. I found the marks on the > cam.

Take the advice, Do not start the engine, It will break a piston or >bend valves. Well ... as I see it ... only a fool would do it without the correct tools. Anyone doing it without the tools and without a Bentley - would be a total idiot! > Well said, but then again I bet he doesn't even have a repair manual. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> And i can't find anything for timing the inj. pump. Please help me. >>> :?: Thats too funny. Most dealerships don't even hook up the computer after doing a timing belt on TDI's. Just lock the cam, lock the pump & paint the crank sprocket. Put it all back together & your all done. Speaking from first hand experience working at many VW dealers. If you are going to install a new water pump (RECOMMENDED) its best to buy an aftermarket pump as they use a metal impeller vs the plastic factory one. > Didn't you use the correct tools and lock everything into place before > removing the belt?

Changing the timing again. wow everyone is concerned about you possibly destroying your engine. I hope you don't either. <g> go here for some information about the TDI timing belt replacement http://tdiclub.com/articles/A3-TimingBelt/ I have not done one yet, but I have done a 1.8t and found that a machine shop had flipped the camshaft sprocket over and the timing mark was 4 notches off making the camshafts too far advanced. I am not even sure how long this engine was running this way! :-) Do it right or have someone that knows about them do it right. It gets too expensive if you crunch the valves. :-( Signaturelater, dave (One out of many daves) >I found the timing marks on the flywheel. I found the marks on the > cam.

The often recommended procedure is to buy a proper kit consisting of new idler rollers and a new water pump. I think it even has some new bolts as some of the bolts are one time use stretch bolts. Re-use them again and the engine could try to fall out of the car. The water pump is cheap to replace when doing everything else but expensive to do as a solo job. Many vendors have assembled kits. Here is one vendor I have gotten other parts for my car. http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Detail?no=349 My car needs a new serpentine belt doodad. It sort of needed one 80,000 miles ago but I did not do it. Bearing felt sort of funny but I did not feel like waiting for a new one to arrive. I may change that out next time I feel I have some mad money. Or I could wait another 20,000 miles when it is time for the 200,000 mile timing belt kit. >wow >everyone is concerned about you possibly destroying your engine.
