TDC Mark - 3/12/2007 11:33:58 PM    wings7351   Posts: 94 Joined: 3/5/2007 Status: offline I'm about to change my timing belt, trying to put the engine at TDC. Everybody is talking about a TDC mark on the crankshaft pulley, but I just can't find any obvious mark on the shaft or on the pulley. Can anyone help? Mine is a 99 A6 2.8 30V Thanks.. Post #: 1

Should be fairly easy to read with the light.  _____________________________ 2001 Audi A6 4.2 Sport - Silver 2004 Lexus IS 300 SD - Black (in reply to techbod) Post #: 5
