[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump Retaining Bolts

[Tim Hicks]

Well I did the pump timing by loosening the Cam Sprocket as there is no way to get to the retaining bolts while the engine is in the car. I checked another Volvo manual and it states to use the cam wheel procedure, so that what I did. (Thanks Loren)

 

The pump timing is supposed to be set at 0.85 (another manual states 0.80) so I set in on 0.85. After you set the pump timing and tighten the cam wheel. It states to rotate the engine 2 rotations and check the dial indicator. It should read .085

 

2 rotations reading 0.69

4 rotations reading 0.85

6 rotations reading 0.82

8 rotations reading 0.82

10 rotations reading 0.82

Is it normal to have these variations?
