[Vwdiesel] Engine eating pulley

[Iain Hunter]

Thanks for the pics

The bolt I have looks different to both of these. It's a standard hex head 
that is 20mm (I think I said 15mm in my previous email). Anyway, I have 
ordered a new pulley and the new type bolt, which will be with me on 
Wednesday.

With regard to holding the crank still, the engine is still in the van, so 
the only purchase I can get on the flywheel is a something like a crowbar or 
a large, flat-bladed screwdriver or similar through the timing spy-hole and 
jam it between the teeth. I am worried that the torque of the gun would 
strip a few teeth off the flywheel though. I am reluctant to drop the pan if 
I can help it, but if it is the only way.....


Iain.
