I just changed the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, idler, etc. in my '04 Jetta (BEW) myself. I followed the instructions exactly and everything went great. I had all the crank and cam locks, and I'm sure it did not get out of timing.
She fired off immediately and purrs like a kitten when it's idling. But, when I took her out for a test drive, it hesitates, lacks power and acts like it is missing. The MIL (check engine light) is also lit. Any suggestions?
