Anybody done a timing belt on a TDi?

[mcandmar]

A6 TDi 130ps, is it a straight forward affair or should i run away

Cheers,

they are not to bad to do front off job raditor and a/c condensor and both fans off and you can access it quite easily throgh there then , bumper bolts can be accessed by lifting the arch liners three 10mm each side

Asuming the car is 98on
As above fairly straight forward.
Use the service pins to pull the front out to gain extra access.
The pump timing is critical not just a case of a "few blobs of paint". The pump timing needs to be set when the new belt has been fitted using vag com of a decent scanner.

I read that elsewhere too, can you explain in more detail?

I assumed you either got it right or a tooth off, or is there another menthod of adjustment? I have the vagcom just need a little know how.

Thanks,

Mark.

easy

easy job just always go clockwise with the belt (or you will get bent valves).
