Only if the timer is bad. If it's bad, it needs to be REPLACED.
Do you have a reference for that procedure

I wouldn't put too much stock in the PO's comment that the IP timing is dead

Do it yourself. Didn't you adjust your valves

What I mean is using nearly quarter of a tank of fuel for 3-4 hours idling

If it uses massively more at idle than when on the throttle,

A low oil level could be causing problems with the governor and
rack.
I don't think

Back to my sick 240d... which I am pleased to say continues to recover by
degrees, but I'm not making any success announcements yet. I drive it for an
hour every day.
The smoking problem is just about finished. In fact, I am increasingly of a
mind that what I had/have here, was two problems.
You must check the timing chain for wear (stretch) and verify the
injection timing. If the chain is worn, pull a new one in and re-check
the timing, it will be faster with a new chain.
Timing is adjusted by loosening the three bolts or nuts holding the
pump in place and rotating it -- toward
