diesel timing pump question

I presume this is after having had the bent valves etc. replaced and the belt replaced? Because if the belt had snapped it wouldn't run.

Ask them why they even attempted to replace the belt without the special equipment for timing diesel pump? Checking and adjusting the timing on those 5-cylinder engines is very difficult to get exactly right, and using specialised equipment is absolutely essential to do the job properly. Or so I've heard.

I can say that my belt snapt so i had to change it by my self. And if you put it just a little bit wrong, the engine wont start. So if the engine runs... the belttiming is right. And the smoke... These engines smokes alot

my freinds 2.5 tdi belt went 2 weeks ago and had the exact same problem it was the fuel timing and was repaired at a specilist garage, whare are you located?
