nick123 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 took my loop (1.4 16v ahw) to get the timing belt and water pump changed at a small vw specialist. Got the car back and it was idling at 400 rpm when at 90 degrees before it idled at about 550 which i always thought was a little low anyway.So it sounded really rough like it was going to stall and i was getting weird feedback through the pedal when it was hunting. So i took it back and he was like 'sorry, i'll check the timing, it might be a tooth out'.So if it's a tooth out what does that mean for the engine, damage? wear on the cams?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 if it was hitting, you'd know about it.One tooth and you'll get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
