First, what's this thing in the shaky circle? http://www.pbase.com/kneale_brownson/image/85895233/medium.jpg And what can I do to get it out of the way so I can use my dial gauge and 2066 tool to set the static timing on my injection pump. You can see how installation of the gauge to the tool is lim...

Maybe his supply is depleted??? His exact words, "we do not have a source for them just now" indicate to me he's out of them and currently does not have a reorder. And Andrew's right that most gauges with a larger range have a minute hand so the big hand still shows relatively small measur...

Thanks, Quantum, but none of my gauges has a slim enough stem to fit into the collet on the 2066 tool. Didn't even try to see if the extender matched the replaceable tip threads. I found a gauge that meets 2006 specs and is on its way to me. If you have too great a range, it becomes really difficult...

And Jack replied he doesn't carry the gauge.

Thanks, Vince. I've sent him an email. I didn't see the 2066 tool in his listing of tools.

Anyone have a work-around for adjusting the pump without the 2066 tool? I redid the belt installation and made sure the crank and cam are OK, and now it's worse than before. No start at all that I can keep running. Doesn't look like I'll have an appropriate dial gauge for the 2066 tool any time in t...

There are gauges with the 3mm range VW specifies for this task. A lot of gauges have an SAE thread size instead of metric for the replaceable tips. That's probably why you needed to put some paper around the threads on the 2066 extender.

Anyone know where I can buy the correct gauge?

Turns out none of the dial indicators I have on hand--and none available from today tool outlets in this town--will fit my 2066 tool. I foolishly purchased it without the indicator, figuring one of mine might work. Boy was I wrong. Anyone got an internet source for a dial indicator compatible with t...

Thanks, Vince.

BTW, when I take out the plug to insert the tool, according to the Bentley, there will be some fuel flow. Will this result in the dreaded air bubbles in the system?

Other real common case of sudden heavy smoke and surging is an acute air leak that is letting air into the fuel lines... can you see any bubbles in the clear sections of the fuel lines ? I don't/didn't see any bubbles in the clear lines. I looked specifically because I read somewhere about someone ...

So how would I tell this? Will there be more belt slop between the injection pump pulley and the tensioner than there is between the IP pulley and the camshaft pulley? Or would it be the other way around? I didn't notice that the injection pump pulley would move when the locker tool was inserted. So...

The pulley wobble that started me on the investigation of my new-to-me 1994 Jetta TD's timing belt has been cured, but the engine isn't running well and smokes a lot. After getting the crankshaft pulley off, I found it was in fine shape and the crankshaft itself was undamaged, so I guess the wobble ...

Thanks, Andrew. There's no room for any kind of three-arm puller I've seen when removing the cam pulley while the engine is in the car. I learned elsewhere that on the 1.9 TDs, the little hole in the rear timing belt cover near the top of the head is for inserting a small punch so you can tap on the...

You can post pictures using the IMG button at the top of reply screens and linking to the picture, which has to be elsewhere on the internet. You put the URL to the link after the first img mark and then notice that the img button now has an asterisk on it, and you hit that again so that you end up ...

I got the crankshaft pulley bolt on my 1994 Jetta's 1.9 TD engine loose using this plate I made to lock the pulley: http://www.pbase.com/kneale_brownson/image/84828606.jpg But now I can't get the pulley loose. There's no room for a 3-arm puller, my injection pump pulley puller won't grab the cranksh...
