16v timing belt difficulties

Thanks, I think my #4 is at TDC instead, my mistake. I will try and just put
the new belt on how it sits. How can I tell after if the timing is out from
just rotating the engine? Do I check the top timing mark, as well as the
mark on the plastic cover and see if they both line up?
thanks for the help, and BTW I bought a Rabbit pickup with this engine in it,
so I do not own a scirocco, I just have the engine. I would like one some
day, they are one of the classiest VW's in my opinion.

Hi, I'm new to the list. I just joined today actually. <BR>
I have a scirocco 16v engine and its out of my vehicle right now. I de=
cided to pull the timing belt off to replace it. <BR>
Like my Bentley says, put the #1 piston to TDC then remove belt. I did=
that. now it states to move the cam sprocket to line up with the uppe=
r timing mark, but now that I look at mine its 180 degrees (the other side)=20=
opposite to the timing mark. What should I do?<BR>
Can I just slide the new belt on the way it sits?<BR>
thanks<BR>
