No, there is an O-T mark on the camshaft,  that speaks for its self,  the crankshaft doesnt have any marks on it,  so you put the alternator pulley back on, and use the little notch on that to line up with the little dot on the intermediate (dizzy) pulley
10 golfs and counting!

Paint the cutout on the pulley with tipex or something similar,  same on the AUX Sprocket, makes it easier to see!!

great, i will do that tomorrow as right now have got horrific thunder storms.

i will say that on my aux pulley i do have the OT mark. the aux pulley does look just like the cam pulley you know!

well i will try the dot on the aux with the notch cut out on the crank! fingers crossed it will fire up all sweet.

Yup lol

Right everything is timed up spot on! (Even made markings on the engine to make sure!) But she still don't wanna kno!  I'm kinda hopin that coz iv kinda damaged the rotar arm a min ago this could be why! Lol! And I'm also going to fit a new temp sensor!!

Fit a new rotor arm and try again, temp sensor wont be the cause of this problem, although it doesnt mean it doesnt need replacing! 

Now its all timed up as per cambelt alignment,  Double check that the dizzy rotor arm is lined up, just coz the aux shaft is lined up with the cam and crank, doesnt mean the dizzy hasnt been turned, to check the dizzy rotor arm points to the little notch on the dizzy body.  Fingers crossed  :smiley:

When it was all aligned correctly the dizzy was out! That's how I broke my rotor arm tryin to remove the dizzy! But got dizzy out and the rotor arm lines up with the little cut out! So all I gotta do is fit nrew arm and see what happens!!
