Hey Y'all:
I was hoping to get at least ten of you with A4/ALH engines with five speed trannies to do me a favor. What I need is for you to set your engines to Top Dead Center on the flywheel's "0" mark (there's a pointer in the aluminum bellhousing timing hole) and then see if the v-notch in the serpentine belt's pulley matches the stamped notch in the lower sheetmetal timing belt cover. Now, I need the check to be as exact as possible so we can safely conclude (or not) that the timing marks on the passenger side of the engine are sufficient for setting crank TDC for a timing belt change. Post your results here.
Thanks!
