Hi,
I am hoping that someone out there will be able to help me out yet once again.
I had to replace the water pump on my 83 rabbit (GL 1.7L FI) and so decided that I would go ahead and put in a new timing belt as well. Everyhting went well at first, that is untill I see that the lowest pulley (I beleive oit is called that had to. So here are my questions:
**Is it a horrible idea to put this pulley back in the car and run it untill spring? **Also I can not find the timing mark on it anywhere and am thinking it may have been where the missing chip is now. Would anyone be able to tell me where the timing mark is supposed to be located and what it looks like??? My manual says it is a v-notch but the photo they show is not for my particular model. I have had three different people look at it and still no mark. **Would there be another way to install this correctly without using the timing mark??? It can go on two different ways,180 degree difference, and then how would I line it up so that my engine will not be harmed when starting it up??Please help me, I am at my wits end here.
