seat 1.2 timing marks

[paul long]

does anyone know the timing marks foe seat 1.2 chain. mine has jumped at 44k and need to put on new kit

How much has it jumped? do you have bent valves too or has it only jumped a tooth or 2?

Timing marks will be in the Haynes manual for a 1.2 polo as there is no Haynes manual for an Ibiza mk4.

they don't have timing marks you use a locking pin kit in cam shaft and fly wheel

you want to make sure you set them up using the cam locking tools otherwise you could end up doing what i did the first time round and have the cams 180degress out lol, ive just done mine again today and used the propper tools, makes life so much easier, but yeah, you need to look in the haynes manual for the polo for advice, dont just take peoples word on it.

chain jumped

and order the upgraded cam chain pulleys and guides or it will do it again

where can you get the upgraded ones from mate? and how do they stop it from slipping again?

well i work at a vw dealer so using your engine code try your local dealer .they use longer guide pieces that hold the chain right up to the pulleys .so they stop any slack between end of guide and pulley

ah right i see lol, thanks for that. ive just borrowed the cam locking tool of a lad who works at VW, i also heard the 1.2 3cylinders are an absolute ball ache of an engine
