Timing Check 16v

OK, thanks.  I'll try that.  I eyeballed it against the crankshaft mark, but that mark is too far away from its arrow and half as accurate anyway.  I'll grab my boss's adjustable light today.

<DIV>The best way I've found is to use an adjustable timing light and go off the timing mark on the front pulley (the one bolted to the harmonic damper/crank belt sprocket.  <BR>This requires that the stock bottom timing belt cover still be in place.  Also helps if you mark the arrow in that cover, and the mark on the V-belt pulley, with white paint.<BR><BR>  How VW ever expected anyone to use the flywheel mark is beyond my comprehension.<BR><BR>Larry<BR>sandiego16v<BR>  ----- Original Message ----- <BR>  From: Brian Haygood <BR>  To: scirocco-l@scirocco.org <BR>  Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:33 PM<BR>  Subject: Timing Check 16v<BR><BR><BR><BR>  So I've never had an occaision to check timing on a 16v.  I wander over to the car with the light and realize that there is no friggin way to see the timing marks without taking the intake tube off - in which case the engine won't
