Hello everybody! Asking for advice if possible.
Is it timing belt adjust problem or bent valves.
1) Alternator belt got shredered and some parts got inside cambelt. I was not driving on highway. It hapened when trried to drive forwad and back, to loose the brakes, after long car standing.Handbrake was stocked. Engine stoped.Timing belt was super tight. Was not possible to turn engine by starter.
2)Turned the ongine by hand, no stop or anything else. Reinstalled the old timing belt back. Shortly: Car is starting, seems on all cylinders, a lot of white smoke, and a bit black.VCDS did not show errors. Camshaft sensor shows 1.88 degrees. Compression tester did not show compression at all on cylinder 1,2. I put a a camera inside, no marks on pistons from valves. Timing mark holes do not match really exactly. Couple of mm. Timing sticks do not go in. Just a little bit missing. Do not know how to add pictures here. Is the timing belt or valves.Ehhh...Just want to know, to send car home by trailer, or try to repair. Thank you!!!

How I can use the VCDS to check timing. I see only option, camshaft sensor position 1.88 degrees. Sorry for such stupid questions.

Quote from Ross-tech:

The timing in PD and CR engines is determined electronically by the ECU. There is neither a need nor an ability to check timing on the PD or CR engines using a scan tool. There are no graphs published for the simple reason that the timing is set using a dedicated VAG locking tool when changing the timing belt :)
