How do i set the timing for audi A6 2003

Remove the spark plugs and measuring the distance through the plug holes with a rod, very gently turn the crankshaft (either way) until you are certain all the pistons are well below tdc and then gently bring the camshaft(s) to the timing position, followed by bringing the crank to the timing position.

there are 2 little timing marks of the sprockets make sure they are both alginened with each other

there is a special tool as there are no timing marks, in front of the cam gears are plates with two holes in each (for location of tool) there is also a tool that protrudes into the crankshaft position sensor hole.. if you dont have access to the specialty tools , than i would engrave marks on the gears and covers to align to original positions.

Exhaust timing is camshaft not ignition. And for all 6 to be out would mean that the cam would seem to have slipped a notch.

timing belt mark on 2002 audi a6 3.o

ally head 75lbs ,timing marks i honestly cannot remember ,do it old fashioned way time it to no1 with valves closed on no1 then you can see where or what the pmarks should be ,do not use starter motor ,always crank engine by hand 360? to ensure valves clear

if u have a dohc engine and the timing was off u prob bent the valves head job needed

A diesel uses a different procedure. You'll need a tool to hold the camshaft pulley parallel to the top of the cylinder head. The timing mark to set TDC for piston #1 is located on top of bell housing. The pointer must be aligned on the diamond cut on the flywheel. A VW/Audi setting bar tool #2065A is needed to lock the camshaft in position. Lock the injection pumpin position using the special lock pin (VW/Audi special tool no. 2064). Caution: If the drive belt is broken or has jumped time, do not attempt to lock the sprocket at this time!!! You will also need VW/Audi special tool no. VW210 to measure belt tension between camshaft sproket and injection pump sprocket. So good luck.

You must find the cam lock bar and crank lock pin to do this job properly, otherwise you can bend some valves and that becomes expensive..the front crank damper has a mark to line up with a mark on the timing cover for #1 TDC, but the cam lock bar is what aligns the cams into position. The crank lock pin is helpful but not 100% necessary...

MARKINGS ON THE CAMSHAFT SPROCKET AND TIMING BELT INNER COVER..AND ON THE LOWER TIMING BELT COVER AND PULLEY...HOPE I WAS OF SOME HELP TO YOU......
