Moral of the story: Make teensy weensy adjustments to begin with. It's an adjustment bolt, not a bow saw.

[@petecurran3995]

My learning curve needs to go on that graph! Great info! 👍🏻

[@JahanZeb1976]

Excellent video and information dear mate. Keep up nice work. Regards,

[@Dadadu16]

would be nice to make an video to start injection checking with new 2.0 tdi on uds module.

[@2NOR]

Old school..I thought you where going to set the timing by ear.

[@racingcars5970]

I have thé same problem on my car and it makes exactly the same noise what I have to do thanks you

[@Dubrovnik82]

great tip. Can u tell me how i can check and corect timing on vag gasoline engines, like 1.8 monopoint in Vento/Golf.... or 1.6 engine with 101hp also in golf or seat cordoba/toledo...

[@Jpandhisonemanposse]

Does this apply for the 2.5tdi? I can't find the drop down menu on graph

[@hojnikb]

Does this work with 1Y (1.9SD) engine as well?

[@jacopo2812]

Can ACV T4 2.5 TDI be fixed with the exact same procedure?

[@fillemonlazarus5334]

good

[@ECulprit]

What if you cant start the car? How do you check then?

[@romandmowski4610]

Before you start make marks to have old settings

[@MarcusRoper171]

There's a matching set of lock holes on the pump and pulley flange that line up (using a 6 mm pin, I think). Bring the engine close to piston 1 TDC, loosen the pulley bolts, rotate the pump until the lock pin slips in, then bring the engine exactly to TDC and then tighten the 3 pulley bolts and remove the lock pin. This pre-adjustment is close enough to get the engine running.

[@mevio4665]

Excellent video. I tried this on my Audi A4 B7 2.0 L TDI PD, but the VCDS doesn't show the option of going to group 000 and TDI Timing. I would like to check my timing as well.

[@TadVarn]

PD engines dont need injection timing adjustments. They dont have any mechanical distributor type pumps to adjust and injection timing is fully adjusted by ECU.

[@rz9196]

What if u can't start the car at all?

[@pej0s]

what those units means? (60 - 90 etc). It is 60 -> 6.0 deg?

[@AnttiHarri]

Old question but if someone is wondering: Lift of the injection pump in mm*100 when in tdc position. So 60 on screen means 0,60 mm.

[@aliakas1402]

i did basic settings for afb engine 2.5 , the two yellow became between the red and yellow and fault code 00555 appeared again,

[@pearlprints5019]

Thats not start of injection, is the quanity. Basic setyings group 001. 3rd bar, it shud be between 3.0 to 9.0 Or by putting the mouse icon over it, it will tell u what it needs to be.

[@nathanwest2304]

can you do that just using the dial caliper method or do you need the software for that?

[@andoparn4395]

u need vcds for see the elexact timmingi and taiming of pump

[@uromrkvic5616]

my idle speed on my 2000 passat tdi is at 800 rpm,can i adjust it to be at 900+ rpm?

[@turbosmore7264]

If you can download the map to you computer and send it to me , ill do that for you

[@MM2009]

lazy, i'd go 4 blue line

[@vitok2010]

I don't see group 000 anywhere in my 05 jetta 1.9l tdi. not in mass block not in basic settings all starts from 01.

[@turbosmore7264]

Yours is a PD motor not a VE

[@theflyingdog9648]

What's the torque setting for the 13mm sprocket bolts?

[@RossTechVCDS]

25 Nm

[@theflyingdog9648]

[@jtm198]

does your gasser have a cambelt driven fuel injection pump, lol

[@keliremu6798]

Still working in 2023 😅 😂😂😂

[@joseandrade7192]

This is an ALH. How can i do that in a AFN. VW Passat 110 bhp? Is not the same.....??????

[@markomarovic3240]

+José Andrade Do you know the answer?

[@joseandrade7192]

+Marko Marović Done it. I push the pump.

[@72MQuinn]

Always use new bolts on the timing adjust. 15NM +90

[@gregh7457]

never have never will. not needed

[@pearlprints5019]

There is 2 types of bolts. 1 strech and 1 non strech. The 1 with a flat bottom is normal, The 1 with a pointed bottom is the strech.

[@junkemails5050]

On description says app, where to find this app?

[@willnerika]

You selected the wrong motor. Why is that. 2002 ALH TDI would be Pre 2004 yes? You selected post 2003.

[@2overskilled]

Nope, he selected "Post 03/1999" (meaning after March 1999), which is the correct row for this engine. The other row was "pre 04/1999" (meaning before April 1999), and therefore not the good one in this case.
