timing is set on the alh tdi with a specialize set of tools, you have a holding tool for the crank, a pin type to hold the injector pump and a bar type tool to hold the camshaft. this will set the timing to basic settings when doing a timing belt job. you must then use the computer diagnostic specialized tool to set timing properly. Again, you will need specialized tools to perform this repair. Vag-com or vcds by ross-tech works very well if you are thinking about buying your own.
The 2006 Jetta service manual says every 60,000 miles the belt should be replaced. Seems a bit on the short side to me but that is the manufacturer request non the less.
If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
My sincere apologies for the delayed response. I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions.
I do not know if you still need this information, however I am answering it either way.
The Serpentine Belt: visible on the outside of the Engine, should be replaced every 60,000 miles. The Timing Belt: not visible/inside the Engine, should be inspected/replaced every 100,000 miles.
Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel Free to contact me at FixYa.com!
hi from uk the recommended ?? milage to change camshaft ? do you mean camshaft or camshaft timing belt ? if the belt ?? it is approx 80,000 mls or 4 years which ever comes 1st ? and the belt tensioner pully at 160,000 mls as for camshaft is it noisy/tapping ? hope this is info you require ?
hi from uk from the symptom/location you say water leak is coming from ? this is most likely to be the water pump that is leaking ? considering age/milage ? this is not uncommon however as the water pump is driven by cambelt this unfortunately means you will have to replace the cambelt and tensioner as well as the water pump it is policy never to use old belt/tensioner once disturbed for obvious reasons i'm sure you have heard stories of result of cambelt failure? and the serious damage caused to engine ? also if leak is serious? this will deteriate c/belt so advice you consider renewal asap cambeltkit +tensioner in uk casts approx under £45 and w/pump a little less you can obtain from most good motor factors/superstores avoid dealers this job is not too difficult diy with haynes or w/shop manual if you follow instructions and have tool kit hope this helps?
Yes...I'm surprised that they let it go that long...Most failures I've seen are around 80-90K!!! I wouldn't worry about it a lot, but get it changed soon!!
