92 Jetta Digi no start problems UPDATE
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
