I think I need a LITTLE help. The timing belt jumped on my wife's 94' 100 2.8 yesterday. I was going 25-30 mph and the car just stopped. My friend has a tranny shop and we towed it there. Today I've tried to start it again, but it didn't start and sounded funny. I thought it has electrical problem, because it didn't have spark. It has 110K miles. I bought it with 102K. Obviously the timing belt has never been changed. I took the timing belt cover off and the belt was in bad shape. It had all the teeth, but it was ripped long ways. I put a new belt on it. It starts up, but sounds terrible and it lost it's power. If I let it fall below 1500 rpm it stalls. I would appreciate if anyone can help me. I don't have the Bentley for this car only for my other Audi.

Smells like bent valves to me!!

I've lined up the marks on the crankshaft pulley and the cover. I've put the camshaft holder tool on the two camshaft. The right side camshaft sprocket has a little mark pointing up, but the left side mark is pointing 3 0-clock.

thus the lack of power.

Thanks! I guess I have to dig in.

this happened to me a few weeks ago.
the car sounded and felt like crap
and I even drove it over sixty miles before I realized the problem, I thought it was water since it had a recent wash..
the cam sprocket on the pass side had skipped a few teeth and was not lined up with the other sprocket...

I removed the belt made sure the crankshaft was at TDC and noticed the driver side sprocket was were it should be.. I then rotated the pass sprocket to match, put it all back together and presto no more hesitation and stalling..
be sure to retension the belt properly or it will happen again..

oh and the sprockets don't have any up or down or what ever marks you must use the holes on the wing looking think that holds the sprocket in place... The large holes must point to each other with the engine at TDC and form a horizontal line

GOOD LUCK

The sprockets aren't keyed to the shafts and can be spun freely when loosened. If the crank was at TDC and the cam lock tool fit on, then the belt is on right.

Start by checking compression; with any luck it will just be 3 exhaust valves on one side.

I've tested it. 3 exsaust valve is bent on the driver's side. I've started to take it apart.

use new head bolts too!
