Timing Component Alignment Marks

NOTE: VW does not provide precise timing marks for the engine. Correct engine timing is achieved when certain conditions are met. Refer to Timing Chain : Service and Repair Service and Repair and Timing Components : Testing and Inspection : Valve Timing

CAUTION!: Incorrect setting/installation without the use of special tools could damage or break the camshafts. Valves could also be bent through contact with the piston crowns. Always note installation instructions and use specified special tools, procedures, and sequences.
