Using this guide and the Bentley manual, I changed the timing belt and water pump on my 2006 GTI yesterday. We were very careful to count teeth on the belt and mark it well, and timing marks matched up perfectly after two rotations.
The car started up and idled fine. Driving through the neighborhood however, I lost power and the engine light and epc light came on. Checking under the hood, I saw that the charged air pipe had disconnected at the front. I reconnected it but the lights are still on.
Anything in particular I should check first? I haven’t pulled the engine cover again, but all of the visible vacuum hoses and fuel lines seem to fine.
