Hi everyone, I have been following this forum since I bought my 2004 A4 2.5 tdi Quattro Avant (6 months ago). It has been very useful to me so far with any issues I've had with my car.
But this time I haven't found my answer through the search button.
I am currently changing the engine in my car (long story but this is now the easiest/cheapest way out) and last night I was changing over the diesel pump, I stupidly removed the timing gear from the pump to lift it out before realising the little plastic bit lifts out to let the pump lift straight up and away from the engine.
Anyway there is a keyway but no key to realign the gear to the pump. I did notice a little bump on the gear wich I lined up with the keyway. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is right? When the keyway is at 12 o'clock the hole for the timing pin is around the 8 or 9 o'clock position.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. I will try and upload a picture here to help show what I mean.
Thanks in advance
