Hi.
I can't find the beveled tooth on the crankshaft that's used for the timing belt drive on this engine.
Is that not done anymore?
If I put the flat pulley on the crankshaft, there's a marking, but it's exactly one tooth off.
No, I hadn't taken the belt off yet.
Most recently, a VW specialist workshop replaced the belt.
Best regards, Frank.

If it's running normally now, then mark the north and south windings and restore them to their original positions. VCDS

Okay, I'll provide the answer myself.
Previously, it was a beveled tooth on the crankshaft drive gear for the timing belt.
On the Golf 5 BSE engine, this marking is located on the timing belt pulley, and the corresponding mark is on the lower cover of the timing belt.
I was only so skeptical because the car was supposedly only driven 50,000 miles after 12 years, and that marking was off by one tooth.
Either the car has more than 50,000 miles on it and someone did a bad job maintaining it, or the timing belt stretched and caused more damage than it should have.
Best regards, Frank.
