Got the car Vag-Com'd this evening.
To take a quick step backwards - i did go back with my dial indicator and reset the Injection Timing to 0.685mm (from 0.43 where it landed after new belt components).
This worked to a fantastic advantage in my particular scenario.
It hit the VC graph right smack up on the Blue Graph Line.
Maybe just a frog hair short of Dead Center Perfect.
Frog hair at the very most.
So no wrenches or adjustments were involved - making things very quick and simple for the Vag-Com guru and involving less of his time - versus if i had needed to wrench and re-adjust/repeat/etc..
By this - i think its safe to say - for those of us less fortunate - 0.70mm will put you right in the middle - or dead on spec.
I'm going to venture to say 0.65mm would put you at bottom of variance near the Yellow Graph Line. And 0.75mm would put you at top of variance near or at the Red Graph Line. If you want to play with it.
I hope this can help someone in the future.
Its definitely going to help me.
Car ran rich - no visible black smoke - but would almost burn your eyes and nose at a stand still when revved if you were behind it.
Strong diesely smell. Way more than a 1.6
IQ was around 2.8
V-C was able to adjust it to 4.2 or 4.4
Fixed.
EGR has been reduced to lowest cycle per TDIclub data.
Turns out the Tube in the ECU is most likely compromised.
Had read about that being common - but that it would throw CEL.
This car has not had any CEL show up.
The other fault shown was the CEL indicator is out . LoL
Likely they pulled the bulb perhaps, at the used car dealer.
I'll fix those things tomorrow or this week.
M-Tech12 said should get more boost and better performance after ECU tube is repaired. That will be sweet. Owner and I were already pretty well pleased with cars performance.
