92 Jetta Digi no start problems UPDATE
Now the notch on the crank pulley/vibration damper should point up, pointing
to the arrow in the TB cover, in- line with the block.
When you line up the dot on the intermediate pulley, with the crank pulley,
the rotor should line up with the notch on the distributor, if not, adjust
it. If the rotor is 180 deg out, you can either rotate the engine one
complete revolution and re-check everything, or adjust the distributor, if
possible, the connector could get in the way.
Then turn the cam gear so that the inside dot, the one facing the valve
cover, lines up with the top of the head, with the valve cover installed,
where the bolts and the valve cover bolt strip goes.
You can verify the crank pulley position with the flywheel, which should
point to o.
Once you get it started, you can set the distributor to 6 deg BTDC, with a
timing light.
HTH!

Ok here's my state of affairs on this problem I found the line up hole in
the tranny case. Nice little arrow. turned the motor until it locked up one
way and was hard to turn. turned it the other way until it showed the 0 and
8 lines. it hungup right before the 0. The timing marks on the camshaft and
intermediate are FUBAR by what I can tell from the Bentley. I didn't find a
line or dot on the back of the camshaft crank that would match up with the
outside of the casing shown in the pic in the Bentley. I will look again
tomorrow since I was in a hurry tonight.
I pulled the timing belt off, because it just didn't look right so I figured
I would start with a clean slate and line everything up.
Currently I have the crank on the 0 line (I'm wondering what the 8 line is
for? probably 8 advance, but when do I use it?)
The lines on the front side of my intermediate and camshaft show a 0 then a
line then T on one tooth. The PO used these 2 to line them up both facing
directly up. I don't think this was even close and I don't know how he got
it running. The Bently shows lining up the dot on the back and not the
writing on the front of the camshaft gear. The line on the intermediate is
shown lined up with a groove in the crank vibration dampener.
I'm so confused.... I got the crank lined up with the tranny housing at 0.
>From there where do I go? Do I try to find the marks stated in the
>Bentley
or do I use the marks on the face of the gears and if so how do I line them
up? The dizzy seems easy once I have the rest set. line the index on the
body with the button and I'm in business.
Any help would be great. Need to know what to line up to get a starting
point.
Thanks
David
