there are usually 2 marks on the flywheel, you have a larger diamond mark which is the BTDC marker used for ignition timign and a smaller punch mark which is your TDC marker.

the flywheel can go on 1 of 3 ways, but if you do this you can damage the pressure p[alte as it has locating dowels that should prevent you from doing this. if the piston is waaaay out then yes i would say fly is on wrong. otherwise the mark on the fly is the wrong one, on some the TDC marker is very hard to see!
heres a mk2 flywheel for comparison, big diamond is btdc smaller punch id tdc:

you should have a TDC marker on the crank pulley, which lines up with an arrow on the timing belt cover.
worst case a long pokey implement down sparky #1 and turn it over till its at the top! just be sure you dont get the implement wedged. the piston is at the top for a few degrees, you need to divide this by 2 if you want true tdc but tbh the movement is so small you should get away without having to do this. The smallest unit of adjustment on the belt is 1 tooth after all!

Ive just finished timing up the engine. I couldnt find any tdc marks, so lined up the marks for the cam and the distributor. I then got a long screw driver and put down the cylinder until i could feel the piston a just before tdc and mark on the crank pulley, then i turned the engine over until just after tdc then marked that on the crank pulley :L Finally i turned the engine until the crank was inbetween these two marks, so hopefully it is at perfectly at tdc haha. I just tried starting it and now the battery's dying

cool thats the way the engineers do it, though they use a dial gauge rather than a screwdriver usually
