[Vwdiesel] Remember smoke?

[Todd Braman]

Update: I checked what I had....039 in.  Reset to .038 (.95mm) Starts good, smokes a bit for a moment but clears up , smoothes out in about 45 seconds ,no smoke, good throttle response. I am happy. I ran a can of Diesel Purge through for good measure.
 
Then I read here that my injectors are probably worn out (164K mi.) :-(
Oh, well. More fun. Someday. Till then, I fix some of the other things.
 
Thanks to all.
Todd
 
P.S.- How do I access the Vwdiesel Archives? When I go to the vwfans.com site, I find "under construction" Thanks, Todd

Ok, so this is really embarassing. When I compare it to a "6", it is a "G". Thanks for your patience. 

So just to double check:
Bentley is right, it is not a "yellow dot" pump, but he is mistaken at the 0.86 mm (.034 in.) optimum setting. That seems to fit.

My plan (when I get some time and borrow the dial ind. again):
Put the dial indicator on it to see where I am now. Then advance to(or possibly stay at) 0.95 mm and try that . If it is in the suggested area ( .88 - .95 mm) I will leave it and be happy with the way it is running now which is pretty good. 

This is progress. Now I am going to have to fork out for new tires and an alignment and some cosmetic fix-up.

Thanks to all, I appreciate the assistance.

Sure that's not a G instead of a 6? Like Dana said. the number you set it 
to equates to .86mm and you want .88 minimum. It's suggested to go to,
I think it's .95mm if .88 doesn't give the proper performance. I've come 
across probably the most 107 - AG of any one pump. They don't time 
as a yellow dot pump. :( Since you're timed at .86, you can easily 
advance even more and yes, rotating the pump body toward the engine
advances the timing. :)
