I no the reason I've not seen this, on the diesel pulley and crank it has a different washer 074 105 193 not the 034 105 193

Do you think I should use the 034 item?

[GazzaG60]

are you fittin gthe ABY crank pulley Jamo?

if so id use the 034 part. it helps the damper pull the crank pulley out a fraction so the belt lines up. all makes sense now its fitted.

i found my original too. i had it on the wrong side basically using it as a washer for the crank bolt.

the part cost about 25 quid!

hoping to roll out tonight with the full wagner IM, IC kit to match the rest of the setup. i got 996 GT2 6 pots full koni and whiteline setup with solid subframe bushes and poly the rest. should be a proper beast when ive finished the mapping.

can come soon enough now

Just had a look at that 074 washer and its 0.20mm thick! I guess thats just to stop you damaging the crank snout!

You know what you say that and on my old pulley bolt there was a washer the same as you've described, looks like previous owner never knew this either.

I'll trial and error it as it's a hopscotch of diesel and ABY these things will happend.

Thats a "proper" setup you have there

Why can't people disassamble things properly in order and document or photo where things are ?

Its pretty simple science... I always do it unless working from a guide or manual that I can trust...

when you have 4 or 5 helpful mates who have done various bits. 1 cuts welds makes, fabricates. 1 helps where possible. etc i get in the way and help every now n again lol. 3 or 4 other cars about, in bits, half a dozen VAG engines 2 dozen sub engines in bits its easy to loose a washer.

i see your point and in an ideal world yes. the fact i had no subframes on jsut a block in. no nothing basically didn't help but a note to self has been written to keep an eye on all parts. lol

i actually worked from your guide paul. the washer became evident when i got the new one from audi and i looked at your piccie and thought that isn't the end of the crank afterall. good guide by the way. my mate made the crank pulley tool after looking at your factory one.

i know this is an old thread but i also am missing the thrust washer. I got a washer with my crank bolt when i purchased it, is this the one that goes behind the pulley or are there 2, one each side. Cheers.
