[izzymizzy]

Hi
Please help I have an ABL engine which the cam belt slipped on I have rebuilt with a new head and belt kit but it has a knock similar to a diesel knock but 5 different mechanics are stumped
Has any one had a similar problem
If not which other engine codes with replace the ABL with just a few modifications
PLEASE PLEASE HELP

I’m assuming that this engine has an ‘ecu’, so really my first option would be to get it plugged into a computer running vag-com to see if there are any errors reported. Check that all the sensor cables aren’t damaged as a broken wire could be the fault.

Sorry about that.

Did you set the injection timing with a dial guage and the cold start aid fully in?
