Hi, I'm new to this discussion board. I joined because I have an 86 Jetta with a 1.9L AAZ TD swapped in. I am having trouble with my timing belt wearing against the harmonic balancer. I am from New Mexico, so I have never seen an AAZ like it is equipped from the factory. Does it have a flanged oil pump pulley, like the 1.6 TD does? My engine has an oil pump pulley with no flanges on it, so I thin that is what is letting the timing belt wear against the harmonic balancer.
Thanks alot!
P.S. Also, I'm not getting great mileage. I'm getting around 35 mpg. I have a 1.6 injector pump and the car does not smoke, so I thought I'd be getting great mileage. The engine only has about 700 miles on it, so the fuel economy might improve. What is typical mileage from one of these engines?
