Timing Belt Question.
I am currently working on a 2000 audi tt (ATC engine code).
I am a little confused on how the crank needs to be aligned. The belt is completly back on, I made sure the cam was at TDC. What needs to happen with the crank pulley. Im using blueTTop's write up and the only thing that i couldnt figure out its this. I see the bump coming off the crank pulley itslef but im not seeing any notches or anything to line up.
Ive talked to a few friends but im jsut not seeing what needs to happen.
Any help or pictures would be appreciated.

the alignment marks for the crank are on tbe flywheel. one notch on flywheel, one on housing. small inspection window may/may not be covered with a rubber plug. both the crank notch and the cam notch need to be in alignment. make sure you turn the crank over by hand a couple rotations before you start the car to make sure you dont have any interference
I too have the ATC engine, same model year, and I did the belt myself using this writeup...http://www.amp82.co.uk/tt/timingbelt
I found it to be the best, with all respect to others.
Reference step 8 and click on all the pics.
