quick question on injection pump timing

[Judson]

So, to loosen the three 13mm bolts on the pulley, is it right-righty, left-loosey?

The reason I ask is that a video online from IDParts shows the fellow loosening the bolts the opposite way. And working on my car just now, I can't actually tell, and don't want to go further for fear of stripping something.

Thanks in advance,

Jud.

Yup, standard threads on those 3 bolts. I haven't watched the video, but if you have a VCDS and are watching the timing, remember that if you see/feel it move, it probably has gone too far. It just doesn't take much at all.

Good luck,

PH

Thanks powder hound. Yeah, very slightly movements make very big differences, but I got it to about 65. It was a bit retarded before.
