Rob I thought you’d have the kit .

[Fruitbat]

Your just showing off now.

Nah, just to tight to buy the tool

I have a Sykes one in a cambelt locking kit but i'm the same if I can make it why buy it?

Rob I thought you’d have the kit .

I've got a couple Kev. The cheap ones the bar bends or you don't have enough sets of feeler gauges to set them up as theyre too thin. I bought a good Laser kit but yours would be bang on Im sure.

The TDI timing kit is good quality.

I’ve got the laser kit, just bought it and not used it yet. Good quality kit.

Until now I’ve used a bit of 25x25x5 angle with a feeler gauge. Works perfect.

Rob: what do you mean you’ve bent some? Did you use the sprocket holding tool?

Slowly getting there now .

A couple of pics for you .

Nice shiny copper manifold nuts .



Rocker cover given a freshen up .





Inlet manifold freshened up , diesel pipes fitted , new auxiliary belt fitted too .




I was missing the gasket for the egr valve pipe ( exhaust manifold side ) a few O rings missing too , supposedly a complete head gasket kit .

So unfortunately that’s stopped play for today , hopefully if I have the time, it will be up and running towards the end of next week .

Anyone else than can’t see the pics ?

[Activ8]

The code in the pics is incorrect.
Do you want me to sort it?

All back together and up and running , sounding very healthy and the best it’s ever sounded .

One small issue is that there’s a slight misfire that only happens after the engine is revved to 2.5/3k ( I don’t want to rev it any higher with no load on it )

The misfire happens after the revs come back to idle , there’s a misfire and then the idle settles.

Im thinking pump timing , I need to find someone local with VCDS who can plug it in and see what’s happening .
