I purchased a 98 Jetta with a broken t-belt (256K) I have since replaced all bearings, valves, cam, lifters.
It will not start now, it acts liked it a gasser that is flooded. I have all the timing tools and have doublechecked the TDC, cam position and pump locking pin. My question is I'm not sure where the pump was in the mechanical adjustment slots when everything was tensioned and installed. I've double checked the timing procedure and I did not find out if it mentions if it shold be in "mid-range" when setting the t-belt. I've moved the pump full forward and back with better results when the pump is pushed full towards the firewall.
Should I lock down the pump in mid-position and redo the timing? I do have access to a VAG-Com but I don't htink it will tell me anything until it actially is running...
thanks for the look...
