2012 Touareg CATA 192k,. Im fixing to change the timing belt on the pump myself before 200k .. I ordered the lockout tools off amazon which included Im assuming some others for different models.. Still trying to find a procedure on locking the system and changing the belt and tensioners.
Fuel injection pump belt change
Hello, I have inherited a 2011 3.0 V6 TDI Touareg with 130k. The fuel injection pump belt, roller, and tensioner are in poor condition. Is it necessary to lock the injection pump cog when changing this belt? I've read that this pump is timed to the engine. If I absolutely need special tools I can pick them up, but if a paint mark works fine I'd rather do that.
Any help is appreciated!

Replaced, make marks and count teeth.. Make sure you adjust the tension on the tensioner correctly..
With nearly 200k on the original it was time to have some more piece of mind.
Make sure you do the hardware pullies and all.
No sense in being cheap over parts that have gone 12yr and 200k miles in my opinion.
