Timing belt marks?

We do not have the 1.2 in the states, but this is from a similar engine can you see if its the same? Diagrams below, if so I can get the rest for you showing how to set the timing. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.

The manual way is to remove the valve cover and look at number four cylinder. It has to be on valve overlap which means the intake and exhaust are open at the same time the exact amount of lift. You can use a level on the lobes to verify. You should be able to look at these diagrams so you can see where the marks are (below) Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hello,

Here are the timing belt diagrams to align the camshaft timing. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Do you know the engine code? There are different versions of the 1.6L engine. I need to know which one you have, so that I can find the correct information.
