    I see the indented dot on it but don't see what that's supposed to line up with. I don't see any thing that tells me in the bently either. I'll check the car manual tomorrow, but if someone could give me some quick insight that would be awesome and much appreciated.

    TDC on cam pully of what motor ?
    I had a hell of a time finding the right mark on my Syncro.
    1986 Audi 5 cyl has a notch on back of timing cover that you line up the indent (falls between 2 teeth) of cam pully. Bently was worthless. 120.00 for toilet paper is just silly.
    Notch is rectangular and not the exact dimensions of the indent on cam pully. My situation was made more difficult due to damage from prying on timing cover from some previous person, was not readily apparent untill I had dinkied with mark on fly wheel and mark on cam pully enough to find right spot through trial and elimination. Thank gawd for non interference motors.
