Good evening all. I have recently bought an M reg transit campervan, it's a mk4 by all accounts. I've pulled the engine out to tidy up the bay and do some welding. While I had the engine out I gave it a good old clean, blanked the egr off and changed the timing belt. Being a bit careless, I managed to get the timing out. Didn't realise until I fired it up and engine management light came on. I've now corrected my cock up but the light is still on and it's in line mode.
Can someone please confirm that the light should go out if the timing is fixed or will it still need resetting. I'm 100% confident that the timing is right now and the engine is running smoothly. I would of thought that if I had damaged a valve or rocker, The engine would be noticeable running rough??? I can't get to ford until the week after next to get the ecu read, I'm assuming the light is from the timing issue but it could be something else, so I just wanted to confirm the self reset thing, getting mixed answers on searching the Web.
