Default Timing belt, mark and match method question?
Hi, after reading allot of posts on this site I am attempting to replace the T-belt, tensioner, and H2O pump on my 1999 2.0 beetle. I will attempt to do it without moving the crank or cam gears and marking the new and old belts, counting teeth, etc.

My question is this: If I don't need to find TDC because I will not be moving the gears, is there any reason to remove the spark plugs?

I just bought this car, (my 1st water cooled beetle), 300 miles ago from a private party. The car has 79000 miles, I only went 300 before the pump went out. I am glad to find this site, and have learned allot in a few days!

Thanks!
