Hello all,
I've just bought a Mk6 2.0 TDDI with a shot timing solenoid. This weekend I intend on changing it. I need to return the old part with connector, so I think I need to remove the pump to change it. The Haynes manual shows that there's a several 'specialised' tools required. All the locking pins I can bodge up, but the sprocket locking device I'm a bit concerned about. I looked at getting hold of one of those sets for around £30 which includes all the parts you need, but can't seem to guarantee delivery by Saturday.
Does anyone know if it's possible to do the job without the locking device?
All won't be lost if I can't do it this weekend, there are also several considerable holes which need welding up!
