I bought the car used and imediately replaced the timing belt and all associated components, rollers, bearings, tensioner, myselft, about 20k miles ago. Worked smooth as far as I could tell. I did not drive it until replacing the belt so I don't know how this car drove before. If I floor the pedal while on the highway, it will get to about 3k rpm and then just stay there. It would not increase or decrease so I would just shift up to another gear. I remember this happening in 3rd consistently. I'm not sure if that is normal.
The other day I was shifting from 3rd to 4th and the car just died. I tried to jump start while I coasted down the hill but it would not start. Once at a standstill, I turned it over. It sounded like it was struggling to turn-over. It did not sound like it wanted to start. It sounded similar to a car that is out of timing.
I see air in the fuel line under the hood.
I haven't done anything to it yet.
Sorry, not a solution to this car but your other vw 1989 jetta...only way I could get hold of you.
here is your diagram

Negative. I did not loosen the IP pulley, just pinned it and I made sure I got it in the correct hole. Not having any previous driving experience with this, it seemed to drive fine, after I R2 the timing belt,for the past 20k miles.
Could the filter be clogged? Any guesses about the air in the fuel line?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Jim
I finally pulled the top timing cover off, lo-n-behold the timing belt is broken. I'm guessing the belt I purchased was inferior. I'll know when I pull everything apart and check the tensioner, bearings etc.
Thanks for your help.
I appreciate your attempt with the 1989 jetta.
The diagram is unfortunately of the back of the relay holder. If you could get me a pic of the front that would be great.
Thanks,
Jim
How did you set your timing? Did you set it using Vag-Com?
