Hi all, hope you can help please. Appreciate its been covered a fair few times before and i've scoured many a post on the forum for the answer but can't find it.
Setting the timing up on the diesel fuel pump post cambelt change. I'm having the usual cold start problem, so it takes forever to eventually fire with lots of smoke, but its fine once up to temperature. Drives perfectly once running.
I don't have access to VAGCOM/VCDS, so took it to a VW independent who set it yesterday afternoon, but this morning when starting from cold its still an absolute pig to start so back to square onw. Having questioned the specialist he advised it was within spec at somewhere around 47-52 (reterded if i'm correct)
I believe the best number to achive is 55 if correct on measuring block 2 from what i can read up. How critical is this 55 number when it comes to the cold starting. A few posts have mentioned running slightly advanced will assist in cold start issues, so how far past 55 would be sensible if this is the case?
No inference to the repairer as they appear very knowledgeable and have been very helpful, but i appreciate some on here may have more experience in the subtleties of things like this than others and want to make sure we're 100% as good as can be on the fuel timing before i start looking elsewhere.
Thanks in advance
