I recall it because he said the VW tool tells you how far you are from ideal injection timing, but it doesn't tell you if its advanced or retarded, so you have to guess which way to adjust it first  |
yeah, the VAG-COM tool. i used the VAG-com one time
it was funny cuz you loosen the top of the pump, but not enough that diesel sprays out, and you smack it with a hammer til that number goes in range
the injection timing is SUPER easy to adjust on this engine, so i have run it thru a whole range. i apparently did a decent job on the TDC set-up, cuz i can go both too advanced and too restarted in the current set up. it's a 2 piece pump pully with slotted bolt holes. pop off little plastic cover, loosen, turn, tighten. i don't know exactly where i'm at, but i know i'm in the middle of the good range, and no where in the range would it idle without earthquake mode.
