00 1.9 New timing belt too tight? code:AJM (PD - baffled1
Just had a (genuine) cambelt kit fitted and noticed heat from behind the top belt cover - removing this revealed excessive heat from the top sprocket and the belt run to the right felt very tight - I had only driven the car 10 miles.....
I am aware the tension setting can be tricky on these - any theories on the error made? I understand this will have the early hydraulic tensioner......... Many thanks

In this months edition of car mechanics magazine they write about
Replacing the cam belt on a golf 1.9pd engine where a notch and raised
Line match up.i have myself used the haynes manuals at the local library
For help and i did read that holding the belt between two fingers and twisting it,that it should turn 90 degrees hope this helps.
