Hi Ulf. These tests are yours. Could you provide some numbers? post?

Hm, what exactly do you mean? The diagram in the scientific article?

I just quickly threw that together to explain how the power distribution changes with RPM and how that affects my lap times, both before and after the change.
I don't have any more test data.

First impressions:
1.) According to the display, the fuel consumption while idling has increased from 0.5/0.6 to 0.8/0.9.
It remains to be seen whether this will actually change the real consumption.
2.) The "oomph" in the lower area is less pronounced. The overall fit of the suit is more even.
3.) It seemed to be working better on the highway. It now seems to have more bite.

Therefore, my advice is: You should check the timing belt adjustment from time to time.

Hi,

Okay, just a quick update after the first few kilometers.

Apparently, there hasn't been much change in consumer behavior.
It's also gotten colder since then, so I'll wait a bit longer.
But since then, the fuel gauge seems to be more accurate.

Before the adjustment, I had a discrepancy of approximately 0.8 liters.
It consistently showed a lower consumption than what was actually used.
The current deviation is approximately 0.1 liters, plus or minus.

This method won't work either, because the "correct" procedure takes into account the use of special tools. It involves rotating the crankshaft in the direction of rotation by approximately 10 degrees, then attaching the crankshaft locking tool, and slowly rotating it further until it can be inserted. In this position, the camshaft dowel pin must be able to slide in without getting stuck.

Good evening.

If you read some of the forum posts, it doesn't seem as bad as people make it out to be, does it?

I've set it up exactly as it should be and as you wrote it.

Good evening.

Okay, I checked the basic settings of the PD elements this weekend.
or newly hired.

They were set to 225°.
I've now adjusted it according to the new VW instructions to 180 degrees.

Changes:
The consumption has decreased from 0.8 to 0.7.
It also seems that the starting problem persists when the engine is cold.
It seems to have gotten a little better. However, I will continue to monitor it.
It remains to be seen whether this setting will affect consumption.

Unfortunately, the slight jolts in the partial load range are still present.

Since the standard deviation among the PD elements is almost identical, ...
If the other options are close to zero, then the only remaining possibility is the ZMS. In some posts, you can read that...
What about the seals of the PD elements?
Has anyone ever encountered a case like this before?
Well, the seals can't be that expensive.
being and taking an exam doesn't cost much time either.

Okay,

Here's a small addition.
According to my latest measurements, the consumption is approximately 0.2-0.3 liters.
turned back, even though the weather had become colder.

It refers to the measured value, not what is displayed.

The current consumption is approximately 6.7 liters.
Combine city and highway.

Vehicle: Passat, Varian, Highline, AVF, no engine tuning, currently with...
195/65 R15 tires.
Conditions: No faster than 110 on the track, but sometimes it has been faster.
Stop and go traffic. I drive the same route almost every day, and it's dangerous 95% of the time.

Therefore, I believe that the measurements are reasonably informative.
I hope it wasn't just a short-term effect.

Could you please post your consumption data here?

Best regards,

Since I wasn't wearing a work uniform at the time, here's the introduction to the synchronization angle question from a general perspective (see https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=17496&highlight=nockenwelle+fr%FCh):

Hello everyone, Now that I've finally managed to replace the timing belt (ARL engine, 2003), I absolutely had to try Ulf's guide on how to adjust the timing on PD engines. (cf.: https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=5408) Finally, it addresses the very problem that has always annoyed me. No pressure from above. In short: It's exactly as described: the engine revs up much more willingly, but has lost a bit of power in the lower and mid-range. Consumption according to the display is now 0.9-1.0 liters instead of the previous 0.6-0.7 liters when idling. So far, only DZR times, which range from 2000 to 4000 revolutions, have been posted here. My personal best time improved by only about 0.1 seconds. However, the time taken for the upper RPM range, from 3000 to 4000 revolutions, has been reduced from approximately 3.6 seconds to a remarkable 2.8 seconds. Since the total time remained relatively constant between 2000 and 4000, it's clear that the increase in the upper range came at the expense of acceleration in the lower range. That would be the objective proof of the various subjective impressions regarding the changed performance characteristics (cf. https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=6847).). Furthermore, the specified maximum speed will finally be reliably achieved. Furthermore, it has been observed that the jerking described under "https://community.dieselschrauber.org/en/viewtopic.php?t=14687&highlight=kaltstart+z%FCndaussetzer" after a cold start has significantly decreased. Here's how I set the camshaft: The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) is triggered by the rotational movement of the crankshaft. The camshaft was adjusted with 5mm instead of the required 6mm, and the resulting difference of 1mm (in the dowel hole) was set to an advanced position. Does anyone know if such an early intervention could potentially cause harm to the PDE's (phosphodiesterases) etc.? Or are there any other new findings regarding this topic? Best regards, Bo.

Hi, Thank you for your report, and especially for the initial confirmation measurements of the perceived changes. It would also be interesting to see your log data regarding the synchronization angle (MWB 4) before and after. "Quote:" Does anyone know if such an early intervention could potentially cause harm to the PDE's (phosphodiesterases) etc.? Or are there any other new findings regarding this topic? In the links you posted, AFAIK, is our "latest status." I can't really imagine any significant risk of damage, considering the additional pressure loads that the turbocharger can easily handle during engine tuning. Please provide the German text you would like me to translate. Best regards, Ulf.

Okay, I've now logged the synchronization angle. It's fluctuating between -3.9 and -4.4 (constantly jumping around) when the engine is warm and idling. Unfortunately, I don't have any logs for the period before I adjusted the crankshaft position sensor.

a) I translate 'Spec start of inj' as "Target injection start."
b) 'Spec inj, duration' with target injection duration or something similar.

Given are a) 3 to 8, and b) -3 to +3. My log shows a) over 30, and b) up to -4.4. Does this only apply to idle conditions?

The numbers make me a little scared .

As I mentioned, I only adjusted the main spindle by approximately 1 mm (starting from the position where the main spindle is locked in place by the KW-stop, and with the tailstock (NW) positioned according to regulations using a 6 mm mandrel).

If I can manage it, I'll tinker with the NW wheel again over Easter and provide logs and DZR values.

By the way, I have performance diagrams, one before the timing belt replacement and one after (with the early camshaft timing described here). They absolutely confirm everything I've said so far regarding the torque curve.

I will upload them here as soon as I have them in file format.

Please provide answers to the posted measurements.

Best regards,

Bert.

P.S.: Maybe someone can adjust the title to better reflect the content, as the discussion about failed PD elements is only a minor aspect now.

Hello,

Here are the test runs that were announced.

To improve readability, I have added vertical lines.

It is noticeable:

- Rated power at approximately 120 revolutions higher speed.
- Peak torque occurs later and approximately 300 revolutions after the start.
- In the range of 2000 to 3000 revolutions, the torque is less than 380 Nm.
- In the range of 3000 to 4000 revolutions, the torque curve is slightly more pronounced.
- Torque decreases less sharply from 3000 RPM.

Greetings,

. . . and confirms quite accurately the (average) "butt-o-meter" readings after a pre-release demonstration of the NW.

Thank you for the pics .

Hello Ulf,

You had asked about the synchronization angles, but first, let's clarify some terms:

The following text:

• Late camshaft installation = factory setting (crankshaft stop).
* Normal camshaft timing = Top Dead Center (TDC) 1, achieved by aligning the timing marks through the inspection hole.
* Early timing = OT1 (Top Dead Center 1) achieved by using a KW (Crankshaft Position) stop and rotating the camshaft 1mm forward.


Unfortunately, I wasn't able to create any logs because the camshaft timing was set late, and I didn't have access to a VAG-COM device.

First, I had made the initial adjustment and probably went a bit too far. Ultimately, as described above, I had a synchronization angle of -4.4.

Since you described quite clearly above that a very late injection start (measured by the camshaft position; i.e., at a very early camshaft position) leads to very high pressures, I wanted to clarify whether the better acceleration "at the top end" with a normal setting (i.e., a compromise between early and late) is worse compared to an early setting.

In short, that's not the case.

For each test, I performed 6 measurements (3 times in each direction) on a mostly flat stretch of road with very little wind; once with the camshaft timing set earlier than usual, and once with the camshaft timing set to the normal setting.
Verglichen habe ich die folgenden Zeiten lt. Data logging.
For the late start, I need to rely on times that were previously delayed.

a) 2000 to 3000
b) 3000 to 4000
c) 3250 to 3750
d) 3750 to 4250

late shift: a) 2.00 b) 3.60 c) -,- d) -,-
Normal setting: a) 2.59 b) 2.96 c) 1.49 d) 1.64
early start: a) 2.60 b) 2.96 c) 1.48 d) 1.59

The extremely early camshaft timing was only marginally faster, within the hundredths of a second range, compared to the normal camshaft timing, and therefore likely within the measurement tolerance.

Therefore, it should be noted that adjusting the camshaft timing to be earlier than the normal setting does not provide any improvement.

Also, it's also interesting to note the displayed and actual consumption values, as well as the synchronization angles.

Verbrauch lt. Display l/h
late: 0.6 - 0.7
normal: 0.7 - 0.8
early: 1.0 - 1.1

Deviation between displayed value and actual consumption.
late: almost no deviation.
normal: 0.2 - 0.3 liters, displayed as too much.
early: 0.5 - 0.6 liters displayed as being too much.


Synchronization angle (warm engine, idle).
late: unknown
normal: -0.6
early: -4.4

Based on the consumption data, I estimate that the synchronization angle is approximately -3 degrees when initially set (at the factory). Unfortunately, I don't have access to the log files.

I've attached some more photos of the peephole.

Once with the early setting and once with the normal setting.

What do you estimate the number of degrees of crankshaft rotation (KW) was by which my timing was advanced beyond Top Dead Center (OT1), as viewed from the inspection hole?

Best regards,

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate.

That is also my impression with the BUK and the tuning software for 180 hp:
With the engine warm, the LL (low load) displayed a synchronization angle of 0 to -0.5° (which would be a minimally advanced setting). Due to the cold start issue, I adjusted the NW (negative advance) by approximately 2° earlier, but this resulted in no change in Pmax (peak torque) that would be clearly discernible in the initial before-and-after log comparisons.

Hello,

After replacing my timing belt and noticing reduced performance on my 1.9 PD AVF engine with a tuning software, I spent several days experimenting, and the following was the result:

Synchronization angle in the MWB4: After the switch, it was at 3.9° KW and jumped down, then up to 4.3° KW.
Question: Is this early or late? Since it's in the "+" range, I thought it might be early?

I've also noticed that the vehicle seems to be consuming less fuel, according to the MFA (Multi Function Display), than it did before.

The label value for the synchronization angle indicates +/- 3°.


So, I adjusted it again:

Car pushed into the window display while in second gear.
Camshaft locking tool fit properly.

Loosened the 3 screws and slightly rotated the cam clockwise at screw number 18.

Okay, tighten the screws and re-check VCDS. Okay, I see it - a -1.1° offset in the "Sync Angle" value (MWB 4).

So, back on the train, and it turns out the car almost has its original performance back.

Should I try the same setting again and go down to -3°? Unfortunately, the car still doesn't feel quite the same as it did before...

I would leave it at -1.1° KW. As I understand it, a negative synchronization angle means that the camshaft is positioned earlier.

Best regards, Rainer.

Okay, I'll leave it as it is for now.

It's truly fascinating how much these changes affect the engine's performance!

Trotzdem würde mich interessieren für was die Vorzeichen wirklich im Sync. Wcertain. stand.

- = late?
+ = early?
