tdi timing altered after belt change
about a year ago i had the timing belt changed at SEAT. i recently checked the timing with vag-com and its way out compared to where it was when i first checked it, some months before the belt change. it was roughly in the middle of the graph, its now at 9o and "too retarded to plot" according to vag-com.
so i had a couple of vag guys at work check to see if they could adjust it, but they said it would be better to take it back to SEAT, as it need locking off and adjusting. they also said the belt tension seemed rather excessive.
now there theory is that the SEAT dealer has done a tricky change, ie they havent locked off the engine, undone the cam and timing pump sprocket bolts, tensioned the belt, and set the timing up.
so im off too SEAT next Monday. now SEAT are saying if theres nothing wrong its a chargeable job . so i dont go there and look a ****, is there any other things that could have knocked the timing out eg. crankshaft sensor faulty?
