Volks,


Popped the timing cover off last night to get a better view on the
valve gasket cover (yup, it's leaking...  :-)  But anyway, I noticed
then that the timing belt is rubbing against the rear edge/lip on the
pulleys, and that it's worn slightly (basically, instead of a straight
edge on the rear most side, it now has an angled edge).  Is this acceptable?
On my only other VW diesel, I know the timing belt was still squared on
both sides when I finally pulled it off after 60K...


I will eventually get to drive and enjoy this thing, I swear!  <grins>


THANKS! ~j.
