I'm replacing the timing belt on my 2001 S80 2.9 (non-turbo). I know you are supposed to set #1 cylinder to Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke by aligning the timing marks on both the crankshaft and the two camshaft gears.

I found the marks on the camshaft gears (and the two notches in the upper timing belt cover that they align with) no problem, but I CANNOT find any timing mark on the crankshaft!!! I don't see anything on either the timing gear or the crankshaft pulley. No marks...no notches...nothing.

Where is this elusive timing mark? And what do you line it up with for TDC???

Any info is much appreciated!

It should be either one or two small grooves toward the back of the timing belt teeth or one groove between two teeth.

The corresponding mark is probably a small bump on the engine casting.
