[Vwdiesel] Walking timing belt

[Kneale Brownson]

When you watch the engine run, is there a wobble in the vibration damper/timing belt pulley on the crankshaft?
 
My 95 Jetta 1.9 turbodiesel had a wobble from the damping material in that pulley failing, and the belt would not run true.

That should never happen - something must be loose... Pump mounting braket or rear/bottom bolt?

I've got an '82 Rabbit n/a and the timing belt is slowly trying to walk off
the front of the injector pump pully.  The flanges on the intermediate shaft
are holding it in place, but even THAT has a gouge in it and it's slowly
eating the timing belt.  I did NOT install the timing belt, nor do I feel
comfortable (at this point) in attempting it.  But if there is an adjustment
I can do without having to pull the belt, I'm all ears.
