Gti 16V wont turn

Also if it was a tooth out wouldn't it have kind of gone bang by now?

So this strong NUCLEAR smell is likely to be the fuel mix? Which means adjusting that little screw in the metering head?

16v's can run 2 teeth out (at least) and still have no piston/valve contact!!

Ok guy tried retiming her last night im gonna have another go today. With regards to the flywheel mark, there seems to be two notches near TDC... one slightly more obvious, with like a metal nipple thing in between. Which of these is the actual mark, or must it be somewhere between them?
Anyone whos done it will know what i mean
thanks

The large diamond cut out is the 6deg btdc mark and the little dimple is tdc.

Right i thought so, so it needs to be timed with the tdc mark then.
Well, for some strange reason, when i line that mark up and take up the belt tension, because theres a bit of slack between the crank and intermediate pulleys, the crank moves while it takes up that slack and therefore puts the flywheel out a bit. It just WILL NOT sit right at tdc. I can get it in line with the 6 degress btdc mark, but NEVER the tdc mark.
Does anyone have any ideas or seen this problem before?
