Can VAG-COM be used to set the dynamic pump timing on the d5252t in an 850tdi. My mechanic says he can't get it to work ? Can it only be done with vol-fcr ?

As far as I understand, it can only be done with Vol-fcr, as its specific to ecu etc.

Wot Mike & skye said ......................... Only Vol FCR can be used due to ECU Specific issues ..

But I do understand where your coming from as the D5252T IS a VAG engine But thats ALL IT IS "AN ENGINE" Everything else is Volvo Specific

Spot on Keith, VAG's Engine, Volvo's ECU. Vol-FCR has to be a specific version, > 1.5 to do the timing IIRC ???

That explains why VAG-COM is not working then.

Basically my mechanics changed all the belts, but cannot do the dynamic timing as he doesent have the software. However the car runs and starts hot or cold perfectly fine, and drives normally, but apparently throws a fault code saying timing is out of spec once shes warmed up.

How much should I be looking at to have the timing set ??

Apparently Volvo want £160, a VAG indi (not sure if he will just have VAG-COM or BOSCH) wants around £120, reasonable ???

(P.S. just had belts, tensioners, rollers, cam seal (which involved sump gasket) and water pump done for just shy of £650).

if its MSA 15.7 then VCT 2000 will not read it,volvo should still have the old style code reader, if its MSA 15.8 then VCT will read it. BOSCH are diesel specialist and should have the equipment to read both.VOLFCR version 1.7.2 will do the pump timing for you the one you have said is the earlier version which will not , these are the crack copys that you get on the bay.
