Timing belt skip one teeth

Featured Replies

Recently had an issue with a flat spot under 2,400rpm feels like no turbo boost, a fault cam speed sensor replaced, the error code went away, then it came back with P0341 so it wasn't the sensor faulty. I have looked at the turbo, injections, MAF and vacuum pipes, all are fine.

I had to look at the timing belt, because recently I changed the timing last December. Unfortunately I have found that the timing is moved one tooth back, not forward, the tension mark is a bit over the line. I read that it's quite common for weak tension on the BKD engine, mine is a 2.0 TDI 140bhp PD. Does anyone have this issue before?

I bought another tension, I hope is better stock INA cambelt tensioner the previous cambelt kit was call Firstline.

When I did mine on a 1.9tdi BXE engine I had to loosen the three bolts in camshaft wheel to get the alignment tools spot on. Wonder if they have loosened on yours as the adjustment is only about one tooth. Not sure what Firstline are like these days but a few years ago my local garage stopped using them as the failure rate of new parts was very high. I would go with Gates if possible. Used them for years and never had an issue. INA are very good as well as SKF and should be a lot better than firstline. Needs looking at as not sure how many teeth need to jump before disaster.
