Zahnriemen falsch montiert ?, obwohl Spritzbeginn stimmt! | Posts 16+

I've had the car for almost 2 years, and believe me, I've checked everything, except for the timing belt and transmission! I've even checked such simple things like the fuel strainer and catalytic converter.

I doubt it's the transmission. However, valve timing is something I find quite simple . On my V6 engine, I've checked and adjusted it several times. I can't imagine that it would be more difficult on your 4-cylinder than it was on mine.

Hi,
ich bin noch nicht dazu gekommen nachzuschauen ob der Zahnriemen korrekt liegt aber ich habe mir mal die Rechnung vom ESP Wechsel vom freundlichen vorgenommen und geschaut ob da eine Ventildeckeldichtung mit drauf steht. In einem VW Betrieb ist es sicherlich so wenn der Deckel einmal unten ist wird die alte Dichtung bestimmt nicht mehr verwendet. Und siehe da es steht nichts von Ventildeckeldichtung auf der Rechnung!!! Therefore, I assume that the valve cover was not properly installed and that the camshaft position was not checked.

I'll know more on Saturday!

PS: Can the crankshaft pulley be easily removed by simply using a wrench and ratchet? Or can it be turned with a five-speed gear while holding onto the wheel?

Either way, the timing belt must be in place.

"I always do it this way: when I have access to it, I use a torque wrench because I find it allows for more precise adjustment. However, if the front isn't in the service position (just for checking, not for replacing the belts), I can't reach it and I take off the wheel."
