Where is the timings mark to adjust ign and crankshaft for a 89 VW cabriolet?

[Edit]

Answer

if it is the 1.8L engine as in a 1990 Cabriolet the timing mark is located on the flywheel which is viewed through a hole on top of the transmission. The hole will have a circular plug that can easily be unscrewed and is about 2" in diameter. Most have a smaller hole in the center of the plug that is for factory use. The timing mark on the flywheel is damond shapped (a strechted triangle). The aligning marker (fixed) is attached to the bell housing and looks like an arrow pointing downward. There is no scale. Once you follow the 'setting the timing instructions' for your year car, all you have to do is turn the distributor until the diamond mark of the flywheel alligns with the fixed arrow and your done.
