Cambelt change issue
« on: 28 January 2011, 21:26 »
Hi guys got a bit of a problem - doing a cambelt change(on a Scirocco Scala)...

Got the crankshaft and intermediate pulley lined up and the camshaft pulley notch in line with the front of the cylinder head, put the belt back on and it wont fire up. The belt spins fine but it doesnt fire.

When the bottom two pulleys are lined up, shouldnt that be top dead centre? However having done the screwdriver check top dead centre falls at a completely different point on the crankshaft pulley.

Also when the two are lined up the dizzy rotor arm is not in line with the notch on the rim... is that also a problem?

Having followed the Haynes/various guides and it not working what should I try?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Ash

Sounds like the intermidate shaft is out of sync.
