With all the pulley marks lined up and the diamond cut in the fly wheel is in line with the timing mark on the gearbox, which i now believe to be wrong (6' BTDC) when it should be 0'TDC, i dropped a screw driver down plug hole no1 and got it to the top of its stroke and the torx bolt was lined up with the gearbox marker, this is better i think?, but to get it to almost fire & run i have to twist the dizzy body as far as it will go clockwise and it runs like rubbish if at all, the only thing i can think is to put the plug leads 1 socket out of line anti-clockwise to give me more motion through the dizzy body but this can't be right surely?
can anyone suggest any other things to look for apart from the obvious timing marks??

today first thing i got tdc by using a screw driver in plug hole no1, then turned the bottom pulley slightly to line up the gear market with the diamond cut 6'btdc turned the key and it fired up on the button, then i turned it off, went to fire it up again and it wouldn't fire up at all but the plugs were wet when checked through out the day i have changed the metering head,.coil,.ecu, tci but nothing, there is a spark, and if the throttle is held right open and the distributor is turned almost fully clockwise its like it misfires, as if the the leads are on in the wrong order
why would it start fine from cold?
why would the plugs get from the engine only turning over 3 or 4 times .i have to remove the fuel pump relay and try to fire it up to clear it!
the static timing is spot on

tried it disconnected and it fired each time, just ran poorly and lumpy, got a new csv being delivered this morning, if that cures the fueling it will be just getting it to run smoothly

make sure you have the right dizzy, and that its genuine vw/bosh. the cheap pattern ones are rubbish. then it needs to be set roughly to tdc and once warm adjust it with a timing gun so that the diamond mark lines up at idle.
in fact before i babble on too much read this thread

I have a couple of issue stopping me progressing, it appears the Thermo Time Switch is continually passing a current which means the 5th injector is pumping fuel all the time, this caused huge problems when it wouldn't fire (due to naff plugs) as it flooded the barrels each time ! New pugs in and it fires an runs except now the oil pressure light is steadily flashing all the time, seeing as the last engine was damaged due to an oil pump issue I'm dubious to ignore the flashing light! The oil pump is new this time.
I've searched for 'oil light flashing' and it appears a lot of other people have also had this, but of all the threads i've read nobody has posted a solution or a cause ? cf_emoticons__BangHead:

another tip is prime it then fill the end of the pickup with Vaseline so it cant drain out again, then you can take your time reassembling

On the otherhand the car now starts and runs and sounds sweet as a nut !! really healthy but the thermo time switch is still broke (stuck closed) so it tends to over-fuel and the ignition timing is still very slightly out but i have run out of twist with the dizzy, its a slight posibility its spot on but hunting due to vacuum leak so i will test this first with some cold start sprayed over every connection to see if it sorts it, if not i'll re-notch the dizzy body to put the cap further around allowing much more range.
With the oil pressure light flashing, there are lots f threads on these boards with the same issue but none of them have a resolution ???

Adie666 that would be cool as i'm certain it is a wiring issue, i have continuity on all the wires and through the fuse box though

mk1 its blue/black on white switch, yellow on brown or blue. mk2 its opposite! try switchign wires over see if that sorts it, and as i say check ratings white is 1.8 bar, blue/brown is 0.3bar. have to take em out though to read the markings
