I don't appear to be. It's well above the Min level (slightly above the container crease).Are you loosing coolant?
I ran my wagon with the crank advanced about 1 degree due to being inexperienced on my first timing belt job. Didn't smoke, but had funky power bands. I don't think it'd be the root cause of your issue.I went out and bumped it a little, but it was too much and went past the marks again. Does it look like they are lined up "good enough" or is a tiny bit going to make all the difference?
UnknownHas the pump shaft seal been replaced or has the pulley hub been taken off?
Is this something that would show up in the VCDS?Looks like he could have timing retarded off the scale.

Your tensioner is not right!
Yes, I have thatYes, are you using Ross-Tech VAG-COM. Their timing checker can show that.
I will try, but there isn't much roomIs it possible to get a straight on picture?
Wow yeah looks like your tensioner came loose. Luckily for you, you shouldn't have to mess with anything else. Rotate the adjuster counter clockwise and line the notch up with the raised peg looking bit. Torque to 15 ftlbls

Jumping at the crank would only show a little at the pump.

Yeah, I think I've exhausted my abilities. Time to find a shop.
Definitely not taking it to the dealer. I'm unable to find a recommended mechanic where I am.Look for a member here that can recommend a shop where you are. Some dealerships don't know what they are doing because they see these cars so seldom.
