find somone with a vag com and have the timing checked the timing is very finiky it was said that "if you see the pump move you probably did and it you went too far." meaning that you really need the vag com to make sure its dead on

You have an IDI diesel not a TDI so you need to set the timing the old fashioned way, as per the link I sent you on your other thread. :wink:
