I had to do a lot of work on my 03 jetta tdi, end result I got everything back together (timing belt job) and the car started no problem. But, I had developed a fuel pump leak, tried to tighten a few bolts on distributor end but it still leaked. I got the pump seal kit from id parts (great guys, very helpful)and took the pump back off and removed the distributor end, this is where the disaster started, with no schematics I did this blind, not realizing that there are 21 parts that will fall apart when you take it off.
I managed to get it back together with apparently one thing misplaced, the cam plate pin was (I believe) 180 degrres out so it wouldn't start (fuel was being supplied to the injectors). I took it back off and swithched the cam plate 180 and was putting it back on when I needed to pin it it was a little difficult so I put some torq on the main shaft nut (clockwise) to line up the pin position( it was only 1/16 - 1/8 off. This paticular time the shaft actually ended up clicking over 90 (approx.) degrees.
How do I get the pump back to proper timed position?
Here is what I have done so far, I manually (with socket wrench) turned the main shaft three more 90's and it went past again, so I went another three 90's to pin position and pinned it, put everything back together....no start, I have fuel at injector nuts. I talked to a friend that suggested rotating the shaft another full rotation which I did, pinned the pump cheked tdc and crank index all good still no start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS
