[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump Timing - determining TDC of #1 cylinder

[Erik Lane]

That will let you know when the camshaft is about at the right position, but
if the timing has slipped it will not say much about the piston. I would not
rely on it. Definitely follow the procedure step by step is the best bet.
Anything else is just wasting your time and money in the long run as far as
I'm concerned. Do you have a copy of the correct procedure? I don't have it
in front of me, but I could track it down.
