How do you set the timeing in a golf 3
To install a timing belt on a VW Golf GTI, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) by aligning the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft. Remove the old timing belt and any associated components, such as the tensioner and idler pulleys. Install the new timing belt, ensuring it is properly tensioned and aligned with the timing marks. Finally, reassemble any removed components, double-check the belt's tension, and run the engine to ensure proper operation.
