The tdi club way tells you to loosen all the bolts on the pump sprocket and you lose your timing setting then you have to continually guess until your car runs again. I didn't do it that way I left the bolts alone and used the tools and locked the engine put on the belt and and then once the car was running I used vag com to adjust the timing as the previous belt installer had it set super advanced.

Its funny when people go there asking about idi's they just get totally ignored not because their post is dumb but most tdi'rs can't troubleshoot w/o a usb cable and a laptop.
Try finding an auto shop that knows anything about carburetors, lol.

Yep, it is the old Ford vs chevy, points vs electronic, apple vs Microsoft debate. Which BTW it seems to me the TDI club guys are almost like the apple fanboys. It is a fanatic craze that both seem to get nuts about to the point it almost is cultish...seems that way to me anyway.

Can you really get the timing so of fit won't run? I had it timed in spec, drove to a shop and they let me confirm it with their VCDS.

Shouldn't happen but it seems to be a common problem over there.

Yeah, with my tdi I right now am dealing with it being off timing... It runs but a little rough. Hard to believe it being that far off to not start.
I would do the same thing with the shop and vcds, but the shop I use to go to I didn't leave on such good terms because I didn't think him completely raping me on a car that he was working on. So I figure I'll get my own and have it so that if I start getting into the newer vw cars it there for any possible issues.

You can guess it. just loosen the bolts turn the big nut in the middle small increments until it runs better. I'm talking like a hair at a time a pencil width of movement can make a difference. Turn the nut counter clockwise to advance.

I love VNT turbos, I really enjoy computers, programming and electronics and my farts smell awesome. "Everyone Likes their own brand."

haha i do as well, i actually went to a vocational high school for electronics and work with electronics every single day.
my farts smell like a fresh loaf straight from the oven, whats not to enjoy?
also i have driven diesel vws for almost 10 years now and i have never had any problems with a transmission.
Ive killed a couple 020 trannies..
it kills the small cluster gear bearings..
i think its because i rely soo heavily on downshifting to slow myself..
i also figured my heavy right foot, and featherweight left foot dont help either!!

eh plus tdi people think idi is such an old antiquated technology that they really look down on. no doubt tdi is better but idi is not far behind.

I agree with that. The only thing that I can think of that is a problem is the precups...
That is the only reason I made the switch to tdi. But I will be rebuilding an idi engine just because I love them.

Has anyone here dropped a precup in an NA?... I presume all fatalities were turbos.

I'm not sure... I assume you could. The precups are prone to cracking on a n/a just like a TD. Probably a lot less common to drop one. And if you crank up the fuel on an N/A you might even be more prone than a TD, since it doesnt have the turbo to assist on the exhaust flow.
