Tfsi tuning is the fb group. Ill check block 93 tomorrow before I start redoing the timing. If it all goes to plan I might be able to get it all stripped back and timed up again by tomorrow eve

I cant get the locking tool to slide in between the two shafts :scared: definitely not in time.

Anyway is it possible to remove the adjustor bolt without the tool?

That thought is asking for trouble so NO!

Just see if you can use the inlet cam spanner to allow the locking tool to locate.

Also post a photo showing the camshaft cut outs for the locking tool to locate when the engine is set at timing marks.

All the timing marks on the belt end set up aligned as expected didn't they?

Yes, although with the cambelt pulley no exhaust cam its hard to see if bang on because of the angle of the phone.

I have to use my phone camera to see the exhaust camshaft pulley timing marks as the cambelt cover obstructs the timing mark on the back plate. It looks like its lined up or very close but obviously as my move my phone the angle changes.

Looking at the camshafts the notches dont lool parallel to me

It all starts by getting the belt end 100% right to the timing marks - until you know they are as they should be no progress can be made, so no guessing or possibly or phone photos is enough I'm afraid it's a fu*ker but remove what's stopping you to confirm those marks are where they need to be but don't remove the belt.

I dont think I can remove the timing belt cover to be honest. I have to drain coolant, remove engine mounts and a lot lot more. Is this to make sure that the cambelt hasnt slipped?

I can get the crankshaft at tdc 100%

Can I not just keep turning the crankshat a little bit at a time and try to fit the tool in?

I think everything is in the right place, a.k.a the chain and belt are on the right teeth etc because the guy who had the same problem as me had similar readings in regard to block 91, and his was on the right teeth, the adjustor bolt just needed to be tightened whilst turning and holding the inlet cam towards the back of the engine

The curse of the AXX one piece belt cover!

You need will need to check the belt timing first.  Mirrors will help see the cam marks.  Then you will know if the inlet cam is a tooth out which going off the pic it looks to be a tooth forwards.

AXX when warmish should read around 45% and 24KW/24KW.

Well I think id have the same problem with mirrors, it will look to be spot on but I cant be sure becauese of angles.

If it is a tooth out (it looks like the notches arent parallel which supports this) how do I remove the chain if I cant get the tool in because its a tooth out?
