...and now they need more time after putting it all together to find that the timing is slightly out. Will this have caused damage?

Bloody hell, getting beyond a joke!
Depends how far out they got it, bunch of retards if they can't put a bloody timing belt on right.

Re: Intermittent misfire on cylinder one
I know of a case of intermittent misfire from back in 2012. 30K mile car (UK). Result of an endoscope look into the block was Audi replaced the engine. The thread is on another forum, but there is not much other detail. Speculation was some sort of failure with the bore.

Picked the car up this Friday, only to drop it back on saturday morning. Engine light came on! Vagcom says something about the timing being too advance/out. Not happy, is getting the timing right so difficult?
