  1. cheers for info and pics will try and hav a look at mine again at weekend. so i right in thinking that the dots should be in line and the cam belt pulley on mark at the same time? sorry if simple questions but i new to vw i been with vauxhall past 11yrs but this came up cheap so had to give it a go. 1st job once it was running was heater matrix have to say not the worst i done wasn looking forward to it after reading what everyone said but start to finish took me about 4.5hrs
  2. cheers for reply i could not find any marks on my flywheel so i been lining my crank pulley up with mark on cam belt cover. yeah lined circles on cam chain cogs up with edge of the head but to then line up the cam shaft mark for the cam belt i have to turn the cam back a bit to line up mark which then puts the chain cogs out of line slightly.
  3. sorry to jump in on your thread but since i done my head gasket. also had head polished and ported at the same time it was apart. i have been un able to get it running right when on timing marks i currently hav the cam one tooth past mark on the cam belt end for it too run properly or better than than when on marks anyway. i also have to advance the dizzy a bit as well. so all i can think is that i have the cam to cam timing out a bit. to me the car fills retarded until about 4500rpm it just does not fill like it goes like it should but i brought it as a non runner and am comparing performance on my old 2lt 16v astra so this may just be the way of this engine how do you guys line your cam to cam timing up? or any other info on what it could be i would be greatful
  4. mine turned out to be one of the knock sensor wires broken would fire up when wire was touching then die if they seperated
