Subject:Diesel Vanagon Timing Advice
From:Kenneth Wilford
Date:Wed, 18 Aug 2004 03:45:59 +0000

I love the waterboxer engine.  No timing belt.  On the diesel VWs it is a different story.  I have all of the tools to time the diesel Vanagon but I have never really figured out exactly how to do it.  Can anyone help me with this?  I put a new belt on and set the timing right that way (per Bentley).

Right now I am just trying to get the injector pump timing right.  I have the dial indicator but I am not sure I am using it correctly.  Anyone with experience in timing diesel VW injector pumps, please share your wisdom with me.  I can't get the van to start and I think it is the pump timing that is not on the money.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
