[Vwdiesel] Broken AC belt-Travis G

[travis gottschalk]

I would take a look to see if you have a timing belt that still is moving under the cover. You should be able to see it some place moving or not. Otherwise take the timing belt cover off to see if it is intake. When the belt broke did it knock any wires off like the stop for the injector pump. Make sure there is voltage there with the key on. I wouldn't take the valve cover off until you check the timing belt first. Then you may want to check the timing of everything (pump, cam, crank). I was driving my vw truck and it just blow a cloud of smoke and almost died. I parked it and came back with tools to check the timing. It was off. Latter I as I inspected the belt there was a hole in it from a little pebble from the road that got in and jumped my timing belt a bit and put a hole in the belt. Weird things can happen. Hope you get it figured out. But you need to see if everything is working. Turn it over by hand and see if you can hear air hissing past the rings (means you have compression). If it turns easy by hand and doesn't have harder spots while turning then you have no compression and something is wrong with the head gasket or valves (or other things).
