How to adjust the timing on a 1.9 VE TDI Injection Pump: On two different engines (ALH & AFN)
มุมมอง 51K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video i'll be going in-depth with how you should time your injection pump to get an awesome all-rounder of an engine. Even though I am focusing on the 1.9 TDI engines, this is applicable to other VE TDI engines such as the V6s etc. It did turn out to be rather long but hopefully you will not leave with any questions after.

    I own a professional carpet cleaning machine that has an upholstery wand that I do auto cleaning I'm in Tacoma WA but if you contact someone small and local you can get really good prices if you pay in cash as most of us little guys are struggling at the moment. We can get ALL of the mold out down through the padding the first time with very hot water and professional carpet cleaning detergents followed by oder naturalizing spray all in a 30 minute lunch break. I just did a similar job for 70 bucks that had split formula milk and mold stains all over I hope this helps someone out there

    I suggest using a light weight grease or even vasaline on the gears and guides. Oil will run down and onto your timing cover and mess with the sealant you've put on there.

    I’ve managed to get the TDI timing graph on my ASV to be spot on but the cold start valve still floats around 2.8-3.2 with the IQ value floating between 3.2-3.4. Will it being at this value damage anything because the specified and actual timing is only 1.0 degree difference and the car runs incredibly well and his much better fuel economy than when it was retarded. Just worrying about damaging the injection pump or the cold start valve.

    Actually they recommend on the instructions to allow the silicone to dry for up to an hour after you have put the components together and just nipped them up. Then you can tighten all the way to spec torque. This is so you don't push all the sealant out when it is still very soft, if you tighten everything up straight away.

      Hey, thank you! It has sadly been on the backburner for a while now, though some more progress have been made. The firewall + frame rails have been cut out of the golf, so next step is to cut up the caddy and weld it in. Have also been tampering with a new subframe and suspension setup for the rear in cad. I think you can expect a new episode in 1-2 months, just waiting on the snow to melt away.

    • @cactusapesgarage6580
      @cactusapesgarage6580 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Technically, you should. Sure, the engine will run even if you skip those steps, but potentially not as good as it could. The engine is designed to allow for the cam and injection pump sprocket to be rotated when tensioning the belt. If you don't allow it to do that, by loosening said sprockets, then what do you think will happen when you remove the locking pins? The tensioned belt will pull the camshaft and pump counter-clockwise by some degree. Thus potentially making the engine run worse, you may not notice it, but that will most likely happen. It takes a maximum of 5 more minutes of doing it the correct way. You can be lazy and do shoddy mechanics all you want, but imo you shouldn't teach it to others.. especially not potential beginners. Regarding the IQ, I think I mentioned that it is a good idea to check it IF it needs an adjustment. However it was years ago that I made this clip so I'll have to watch it to make sure.

    I should have been listening harder during the first 15 seconds of the video when you mentioned this was an ALH. I was gearing up to do my AHU belt and noticed this had two timing belt idler pulleys vs the one pulley in my AHU kit. Had a mini panic attack and after searching around realized I indeed had all of my required parts.

I am tempted to turn the pump slightly anticlockwise and see if it helps or not.

    Hi did you determine which component was causing the rattle-had the tensioner failed? I’ve swapped a salvage engine into mine and it’s rattling from below the power steering pump and I’m not sure if it’s chain or the vvt pulley? It’s worse with a hot engine. No oil leaks though, I did replace the seal in the power steering pump- it uses the same seal as a MR2 oil pump and a fairly easy job once you realise you don’t remove the pulley but open the pump from the rear!
