as i feared the timing gear on my jetta was not put on right. The marks are pointless. I managed to get my car completly out of time atleast 10 different ways. I cant seem to get it right. ive worked on the thing all night, now im too tired and frustrated to avoid breaking things so if anyone from around my area whos confident they know what there doin could lend me more advice and if its not out of the way possibly give me a hand tomorrow? well actually its 1am it would be this evening. please lemme know asap, if anyones available pm me a number i can contact you at. thanks
how was it put on wrong??? i thought they had key ways on them to prevent that
