Just a quick note to say its all done and everything went good. Only trouble was putting the new belt on. First time the crank slip a tooth (yes, I did use all the lock down tools) but caught it before proceeding. Removed cam pulley, reset TDC, and reinstalled. Still don't understand why it moved but...., all is well in the end. Now just waiting for my knuckles to heal.
Son just called 3 hours into an 11 hour drive on his way back home and my heart skipped a beat when his name appeared on my phone. Wondering what is wrong, I answered the phone and he said all is good.
Thanks for the TB instructions here and all the other DIYs on this web site. A great source of information for our cars. Younger son has the 2001 Jetta, I have a 2006, and my older son bought a 2010 earlier this year. Love the car and the mileage.
