Timing on mv6

Is there anyway to tell if the timing is out on a 3.2 without stripping it?,or what else could be the cause of high fuel consumption?. Undecided

It can sometimes be seen on live data dependant on how far out and where. Who did the belt last time? PM if you don't want it public Wink

If the timing has being done by a dealer from my experience 8 times out of 10  it will be out.  Sad

Multi rams working? Pedal tricked for codes? And all that first?

Either via tech2, or a good blip of the throttle and watch them actuate, so on the 3.2 an assistant will be needed, throttle cable cars can no blipped from the engine bay but not drive by wire.

Although violent blipping of the throttle may not be such a good idea if the cam belt is suspect for obvious reasons. So up to you. Maybe a thorough inspection of vac pipes and electrical connectors instead? Undecided

Mark, if you're not busy Sunday pop over and I'll check the live data etc., and if we can't see anything we'll have the cover off ad check the timing marks Thumbs Up!
