how come ???

i new you would ask that. lol
if i remember if any codes are stored on the engine side the programme will not let you run the pump test i could be wrong if you give Derick a call he will confirm this at ilexa.

lol right...

So this is a bit of a catch 22 situation. does this mean the belt will need to be adjusted 'manually' first ???

Is there any chance that i would need to move the belt a tooth or something as I have heard of people having to do this too ??? Any chance it coult be way way out ??

Is the adjuster on the bottom wheel infinetly adjustable, i.e. if its 12 degree out say will it let me adjust it that far back to 0.2 or whatever ???

I THINK yer half right Mike ... I THINK as the code IS Pump Timing Adrift it WILL let you do a re-set on it .. I'm SURE Bri did mine last Nov & he said the same but then discovered as it WAS the Timing that threw the code it WILL let you re-set it (to Clear the code) ....

MMMmmmmm!!!!!!.... Just thinkin now .... I MAY be wrong there & Bri Cleared the code FIRST then re-set the timing

Was thinking the same, can the code just not be cleared then get on with setting the timing. Question is, how long does one have until the code appears again to do the adjustment. After all the engine is running while all this is going on.

as i said i could be wrong on that so best to check .if the belt has been set up correclty you will not have to move it a tooth,the pulley you can move either way with the engine running and adjusting the pulley without the diagnostic kit the engine will tell you if you are going the correct way, with VOLFCR with the engine running and moving the bottom pulley you will see the graph move depending on which way you move it will dictate which way the graph is going. if the belt has been set up properly you will not have to move it far hopefully, this is why they charge what they do because it can be a right pain in the you no where if its way out or the belt is not proprly timed to the marks.

it will still throw the code if and when you get to the test standards.
the last one i did there was a code on the engine side and it would not let me do the pump timing , now it may as Keith says let you clear the code but i doubt it the only other way is to set it manually to get it somewhere near. Clan may be along and tell you what is required.

Have emailed ilexa for some info. Hopefully they will get back to me in a couple days.

I think you have possibly tempted me to give it a try myself. I'll wait until i pick up the car and make the decision.

P.S. What size allenkey is the adjuster ???

if the car is already at the test standard before you try the test it will save you having to wait, depends when the code is being thrown but i would suspect that it is when it reaches the test standard,

Yeh i think your right, my mechanic said, when its fully warmed up it throws the code.
