Hello all,
I have replaced my timing belt.
I have a manual and got the notch on flywheel.
I locked the cam and fuel injection pump pulley.
I matched the first crankshaft sprocket dot with the notch on the block and the other two dots followed to the right.
I reassembled the motor.
It started right up, but was rough and smoked pretty bad.
The car sat for 4 months, I thought that is why it was smoking since t started right up with no adjustment.
The VCDS shows the timing to be too far advanced to be plotted.
I retarted it all the way mechanically. It is still too far advanced to be graphed. It smokes less, but I know what turbo feels like and I don't have it. Yes, all my vacuum lines are connected.
I seen a video on YouTube that says you can advance the timing to 33268 instead of 32768. Can I retard the timing to 32268?
Please let me know your thoughts. I am really new to this.
