timing belt change problems

[MR.H]

So got everything snug back on and turned the motor over to warm up and start adding fluid. Before I move one, let me back up, after removing the ac compressor, and then eventually getting it back on, i rotated the pully attatched to it, and it didnt sound "titties" if you know what i mean. But with a fukk it attitude, i put it back on and connected the hoses bla bla.

Now it was making a weird noise and I am wondering if the ac compressor could be the cause, even after removing the fuse from it (belt is still spinning it). I am thinking about just taking it out completely hoses and all, good or bad idea?

Next issue, the battery died on me while it took the few days to do the repair, now after jumping it, i must of screwed that up too, and blew the 100amp alt fuse.

Please someone play the worlds smallest violen for me whilst I cry. I didnt think i would have as much stress working on the 4r sr5 (218k miles) 5spd as I had working on my old A4.

... yes because when dealing with a Timing belt that is at the core of engine operation... a 'fukk-it' attitude is a must!

you can run it with the AC belt off for a bit and see if the noise is still there. If it persists it has nothing to do with the AC. If it goes away then you are on the right track.

Kind of what I was thinking... Good thing we don't have interference engines.

If I were you I would strip everything back off and do it by the book to prevent any other costlier issues.
