Nice how-to. Worked well for us. Thanks.
Two comments:
1) Even after belt on all sprockets, the HPFP sprocket never really moved when system tensioned. We ended up compensating with the position of the sprocket when the belt was placed on it.
2) Fuel line connections are reluctant to separate, and a bit fragile. Much easier to remove the two lines at the fuel filter lid, and stick old glowplugs in line to seal. Loop a piece of hose to the fuel filter lid to prevent leakage. Then move all the fuel stuff to the top of the engine.
Look at your timing belt kit carefully. There are a LOT of TTY bolts in this job. They don't come with the kits currently available from the vendors.
