The problem is that VW used a number of different pulleys with
different timing marks on them over the years. I'm not sure which of
these were/are second sourced from Brazil, but I'd be willing to bet
that there are several possibilities. The crank keyway is 90 deg from
TDC, so that may be some help, but it will be hard to be accurate from
there.
