hello
my jetta timing belt need to be change... i open the timing belt cover to rotate the timing pully and to mark the belt and when i was rotating by tool and the belt snap so plz can anyone tell me how to set the timing of the motor.or if anyone have diy step by step that how to install.

96 jetta gls 2.0L

 

set crank to tdc timing mark on flywheel or flex plate
set cam to tdc mark on pully and rear timing cover
pull distributor cap off point rotor to small notch on the part the cap sits on not the bigger notch that keeps you from puting the cap on wrong

 

before the timing belt broke..
I checked the timing belt pulley and I moved the pulley to where the timing mark is (the arrow)..and placed the mark where the O.T is..I then checked the flywheel mark..but there was nothing there.

There are 2 marks on the timing belt pulley right? 1 is O.T and the other is just a tiny dot?

So then I rotated the timing belt pulley again and brought it to the DOT ( . ) thats on 1 of the teeth and when I checked the flywheel mark..it was there.

So Id like to know if thats correct/fine?


Also theres 1 thing I noticed that..from another site I found a DIY on it..the pic is below to show you..

On the fly wheel there are 3 marks as you can see below..but on my flywheel I can only see 1 mark..the 1st 1. and not the cut or 0 mark next to it. if u get what I mean?



andthis is the picture of my car timing belt and the flywheel markdo you think that it was on correct mark or not?

 

you are off on the crank just a little

 

There are 2 marks on the timing belt pulley 1 is O.T and the other is just a tiny dot? so which one is right?i have heard people set there timing on O.T .

well now when i was turning the main pully with the wrench i broked the timing belt so now if i want to fix the timing do i only need to put the timing puly on dot (.) or O.T?and the fly wheel one should i set like showing in the picture?and i like to know where should be the distributer mark?
Thanks

 

and one thng more there is no mark of TDC mark on my wheel there is only mark of timing lugs for vw special tool.
