Hello everyone,
Just picked up a 98 jetta AHU. I decided to install all new belts, filter and fluids. When I finished installing everything and finally started it up. I heard a grinding noise coming from the timing belt area. So I ran over there to see what it was and I'm leaning towards the intermediate shaft pulley grinding on the inner engine cover. When I push on the cover and let go I can hear the cover slapping the pulleys. There looks to be some fine metal shavings under the pulley. Is there anything that I can do to tighten that cover? I don't recall unbolting anything from the cover at all so I'm bit susursusure what it could be.
