Hi all
I have changed timing belts on mk 1 diesel engine and I now want to change the belts on a mk2 2000/w are there any differences from the mk 1.? The only reference I have is the mk1 Haynes manual as they don't publish a revised manual for the mk2 td
best regards

Some Mk2's have an automatic tensioner while some of them retain the manual tensioner from the Mk1. I believe the manual tensioner setup uses the same 6mm drill bits to time the crank and pump pulleys while on the automatic tensioner version, a flat bar is inserted on the other end of the camshaft to lock it into the correct position.

Oops, to much chardonnay tonight. I meant CAM and pump pulleys.
cheers thanks for that you have to use the flat bar and the bits in the pump on the mk1 also
best wishes

I've never used the flat bar on the Mk1. I just used a 6mm drill in the cam sprocket and the injection pump sprocket. I used a 47.5mm long pin to set up TDC.
