Tighter then normal Lay shaft? :( help

Recommended Posts

It's my daily used car, corrado 2.08v in this morning at a old school specialist vw and on changing the timing belt and tensioner the diagnosed that the lay shaft is turning tighter than normal?

Checked to dizzy and the oil pump and they are free, so they say....

 

Any ideas guys

 

 

Thanks in advance

lol!

 

Bit odd but all it does is drive the oil pump and dizzy - there are bearings I think but you wouldn't usually replace.

 

Did they change the oil?

Nah, that was the only negative off the whole day, I'm not regarding it a biggie and neither did they, just thought I'd run it pest the UK's finest Corrado Team,!!! (Corrado forum)

The guys at the garage today have been working on dubs since early 80's and they all said it was just summit that they haddn't ever seen or noticed in the past. They thought a bush on the Lay Shaft. Without the cam belt on it turned with a spanner, nowhere near as tight as the cam wheel but a bit tighter they said than it should be.

Surely it couldn't stick? Or course a belt snap.
