You have already been told twice that you need to use the correct timing locking tools as the GTI 180 engine has a floating crank pulley.
#6: Re: gti 180 timing Author: gaznandrea, Location: leicesterPosted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:28 pm ---- Ok how does that work if you taken head off to replace broken valves were do you set top two pullies before i lock it up
#7: Re: gti 180 timing Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 1:39 pm ---- Both the cam pulleys & the crank itself will each only lock with the timing tools in the correct position!
You cannot do this job safely without the correct tools for timing the engine.
#8: Re: gti 180 timing Author: gaznandrea, Location: leicesterPosted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 2:35 pm ---- Locked both of them were should piston number one be

Use the crank shaft locking tool!
That is the ONLY way to get the pistons in the correct position to time this engine correctly.
If you don't have the correct timing tools for this engine then there is no more help the forum can give you.
#10: Re: gti 180 timing Author: gaznandrea, Location: leicesterPosted: Tue Jan 13, 2015 2:56 pm ---- Were do you get this tool from
#11: Re: gti 180 timing Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 9:02 am ---- Any garage / automotive / mechanics tool supplier.
You need the timing tools for the PSA Peugeot / Citroen EW10 engine.
There will be 2 camshaft timing tools & 1 crankshaft timing tool.
#12: Re: gti 180 timing Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 5:30 pm ---- The thing with modern engines is that if you are only going to time one engine the tools can cost almost as much as paying someone else to do it.
Also, if the person doing the task isn't using the timing tools the only other way is by tippexing the belt and pulleys and that isn't recommended although a lot of people do it and get away with it.
Finally, if the person doing it doesn't already have the tools it means they are learning on your car. Is that the type of person you want working on it? Or have you learnt that already!
#13: Re: gti 180 timing Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 5:40 pm ---- Please also get the VVT checked as suggested by MrBSI. It could be disconnected or a coincidental failure.
#14: Re: gti 180 timing Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2015 5:56 pm ---- GTI 180 engine has floating crank pulley so Tippex isn't really an option.
#15: Re: gti 180 timing Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu Jan 15, 2015 3:23 am ---- I'm getting confused by this thread and the others that might relate to the same problem.

Got car back from where, as in your previous threads you make it sound like you are doing the job yourself.

Why do you need to find the timing marks? Take it back to the person who did the job. If they are competent in their profession, then they would have done the job properly in the first place. Have a google for The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982
You have that much advice spread over the forum from what began with having an intermittent misfire diagnosed, I think everybody is losing track of what has and hasn't been done. Everything seems so all over the place.
It also looks like you are just throwing parts at the car in an attempt to solve the original issue rather than finding what the cause is and sorting that.
I can see this problem ending up with the head off again to replace bent valves, preferably by someone who knows what they are doing.
