No need to remove the serpentine, you just want to move the IP so loose enough you can move it and put it back together.

Since it VCDS says my timing is to far advanced I’d want to go clockwise according to pdf to retard the timing

If everything is properly lined up at TDC, locked in place, correct sprockets loosened so they can turn a bit as the belt is tensioned, transmission double-checked that it hasn't moved... etc etc etc... the car will start perfectly and the timing will be right in the middle of the graph.
From there some people then dial it in a bit more one way or the other, but 99% time it's almost perfect as is.
Any major tweaking suggests "start over and do it again" with the belt. IMHO, of course.
I'd also be very concerned about any ticking noises that weren't there with the old belt, since that could easily be the sound of valves kissing pistons from incorrect crank/cam alignment.
Are you sure you're using the correct timing mark on the transmission?? Any way you could snap a picture?

Ok so I have it running again. Which engine do I use <04/1999 or 05/1999>

*Much* better... what did you do differently, and has the ticking gone away?
Your 2003 ALH was made after 05/1999 so I'd use that setting, but it probably won't make much difference.
Note that it's warning you that the engine coolant is too cold... for an accurate setting you'll need to get the engine all the way up to temp.
I never look at block two. Just look at the graph...

I always use block 2 unless the timing is adapted. 57 is nice.
But graph shows high, put it near the blue line.
Ok I will do that tomorrow I have to get ready for work. Thank you.

Read the how to I posted earlier.
Basically I shoot for just below the middle line.
Between the top and bottom line is within range and blue line is TDC. Just below is just ahead.

oh i hate a retarded engine.I tend to leave mine anywhere above the middle lines, as close to the top line as I can get, but if it starts off above the middle line, I leave it wherever it lays. this leaves the motor in an advanced location Before TDC for timing.
I have never left one below the middle line. that leaves the Engine in a retarded state of timing After TDC
Disconnect the MAF and see it runs better. I am interweb guessing, but if you have it running and idling well, but it acts terrible under the throttle, it might be because of the MAF. Simple plug disconnect and see if better.Well guys to no avail my Jetta is running and I got it all back together just got it out of the garage and went around the block and it’s not running right. So I’m going to take it to the pros to see what I did wrong. Thank you for all the help and I might be a week late but I’m going to become a life member of this forum.

See if you can hook up with Growler, he knows these cars.Well guys to no avail my Jetta is running and I got it all back together just got it out of the garage and went around the block and it’s not running right.

Thought you got the injection timing set with VCDS?
I second unplugging the MAF and see what happens. It'll run a default map and you can see if it runs better.

Takes two seconds on the disco the MAF connector on the air filter box and do a test drive. You will know right away if it's better. If that doesn't work, then find yourself a guru.I do have it it’s at 63. I really just don’t have the time to work on it myself. If it wasn’t for my company truck I’d be stuck. I have no check engine light on so I don’t know what it would be.

Your closest Guru Is up in Lima, Kraig Keith Kraiger Automotive. kraigerautomotive@gmail.com
give him a call and see if he is available.
Glad to hear she's running again!
