Message	Well, today I was doing some work on the TT and I was reminded of the post that was posted from Z1. Basically they found that they had motor issues due to the eBay pulleys not having a timing mark or that they were off a few degrees. I decided to check my eBay pulley that has a timing mark. Guess what, I found out that the mark that was on the pulley was retarded behind the OEM marking by about 2~3 degrees. So I made a new mark and will use that now. It was fairly easy to verify, just set the OEM pulley on a mark, pull it off and install the UD pulley and put a new mark on it. I marked it with a marker then later used a hammer and screw driver for a more permanent marking. Kai Now a member of the Dark Side
