92 Jetta Digi no start problems UPDATE



Ok when you were saying it could be a B not and 8 you are talking about  the 
flywheel?  they are spaced out about 8 degrees from the 0 mark there.
The markings I have on my intermediate are 0 a line and a T on one tooth and 
another dot about 70-80 degrees (maybe 100 haven't looked that closely) I 
just know it's not close to the 0T tooth.  I have the same markings on my 
camshaft gear.  I have not found a dot on the inside of the camshaft yet, 
but I'm getting ready to go out and mess around with it for awhile.

I need to get this sucker running.  I'm out of a DD right now because my 
regular Jetta has tranny problems and I figure this one is the easiest and 
quickest fix.

Anyway I've got the crank lined up as you said. flywheel on 0 and the notch 
is facing up. I don't have any cover on the timing belt right now so the 
notch is facing up not at any arrow.

I will align the dot in the intermediate shaft with the notch and check the 
dizzy lineup.  Then I'm going to try to find the inside dot on the camshaft. 
If I find it I will align it with the front edge of the head and valvecover. 
Is this correct?   What if I don't find a dot?  What are the markings on the 
front of the camshaft for?

Thanks
David
