    Who can time a TDi around Manchester?

    So, just done the belts and pulleys on the 850TDi, surprisingly nothing went horrifically wrong.
    I don't actually think I've gashed my hands open once!
    *looks at front and back of hands*
    Nope
    Even the usually epically tight crank pulley bolt came straight out!

    Anyway, I bought an INA kit from Euro's, just shy of £90 with discount:



    Apparently they're OE suppliers. Hmm... Don't know about that.
    Was pleasantly surprised though to see that as well as both belts and all three tensioners, it also came with a new crank pulley bolt and fasteners for the pulleys too.
    Bargain, methinks

    The water pump seemed absolutely fine, so I left it for now.

    Anyway, it started absolutely fine afterward, but I'm a little down on power, especially higher up the revs, so I'm thinkng it needs timing properly with computer witchcraft.

    So, who's around Manchester that could have a butcher's in exchange for a few pictures of the queen?

    Good effort fella

    Is that the dynamic timing bit of VOL FCR? http://www.ilexa.co.uk/diagnostic-to...ick-guide.html

    Aye, that's the one.

    Martin Smith has offered to do it for me, but would like to see if I can get someone a little closer to have a butcher's.

    Martin is a cheap date though!
