Hi all.
I am going to be taking a look at my timing this Saturday.
My car is an A3 2.0TFSI (BWA engine) 57 plate.
After looking at the timing last weekend I noticed that with the bottom crank pully being lined up on TDC (after several rotations), the top exhaust cam is sitting HALF a tooth retarded (anti-clockwise) of the timing mark on the cover.
Would the tensioner being TO TAUGHT effectively cause this? therefore pulling the exhaust cam round anti-clockwise?
Hope you can help guys.
Best regards.
