I own a 2004 Golf TDI (BEW) Engine code.
I just finished replacing my timing belt, water pump, timing belt tensioner. I got the deluxe kit from Dieselgeeks http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/StoreFront
Car runs great. It took me almost 8 hrs due to hot weather working outside. My question is must I set the timing or not. I do not own the VCDS software.
Ross-Tech web site seems to state that if I own a 1.9 PD engine the timing is determined electronically.

Near bottom of the page it says this:
Note to 1.9 PD (pumpe duese aka unit injectors) and CR (common rail) owners: The timing in PD and CR engines is determined electronically by the ECU. There is neither a need nor an ability to check timing on the PD or CR engines using VAG-COM.. There are no graphs published for the simple reason that the timing is set using a dedicated VAG locking tool when changing the timing belt
So, should I check timing or attempt to adjust with VCDS? I beleive my mileage has gone down slightly, but working on my second tank after the timing belt change and will know better this tank.
