Phase the engine of a Volkswagen Golf VI without a dime

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see how to set the engine timing of a Volkswagen Golf VI without the help of the Dime: we need to rotate the engine clockwise, and we see that on the Cam pulley we have three slots. The serrated one goes on the highest upper point. If we take a mirror, we will see that on the right there is a 6 mm hole where we can insert a bolt, where we will then make a reference mark. Once we have done this operation that makes us sure that we have found the correct timing, we will mark the engine shaft below with a marker, and even if it would not be necessary because it is a rotary pump, it is good to also mark the diesel pump.
