Improper timing marks listed in Mitchell
by voltageviking on Aug 17 2017, 1:33 PMI recently replaced a water pump on a 1999 VW Cabrio 2.0 manual transmission, normally aspirated engine. It requires removing the auxiliary sprocket, and I accidentally let the cam move while the belt was off. Looking in Mitchell tells you that the three marks you have to line up are on the cam, distributor, and back of the crankshaft. My problem with this, is that the marks in the crank as described by Mitchell are incorrect. It describes the mark as looking like:
I O
That stamp does exist, but isn't incorrect. The correct mark is about 40 degrees advanced from the above marking, and appears as an "I" on top of a diamond. This marking also corresponds with the mark on the back of the crankshaft pulley when reinstalled. Use the mark on the pulley rather than the rear. This discrepancy in Mitchell cost me so much time retracing my steps.
