Agreed just didn’t think they were available for the B8 but have since found one. They’re normally by go to step by step for a first one on any car

Hi most Ford timing belts are a dream to do, [except for the new Transit] where you have to do the wet belt if you have any sense, the guy I use has the universal cam pin kit for Audi but still had to use drill bits to lock out some of the gears as the kit didn't have the right pin for my engine, I swear they do this on purpose to stop people having a go themselves, the pin and locking kit I bought for my 2.0 MK4 Mondeo worked on the 2.0lt and both my 2.2lt models, I think you have to go for TDC and find bits to fit the holes, most of the engines are the same but are given different designations to confuse everybody, DETA,CNHA, CDUD.

Thanks Gareth for your response, will be starting the car daily again let’s see how it goes. Just a quick update - I’ve driven the car yesterday and today and no message when starting the car, fingers crossed it was a cold battery issue as the car hadn’t been started for 2 weeks
