Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      all sorted, for anyone doing 2.5l petrol aet van, note the timing mark to line up the balancer is at about 8 oclock on the lower cover. also when the balancer is off, the key on the cog will line up at about 9 oclock in line with the top of the lower cover. timing mark on the camsharft is very hard to see and its not very visible, use the distributor and line up the rotor button to cylinder 1 mark. then you should be able to see a mark on the camshaft.
      hope that will help the few owners of aet engines..
