I just pulled upper timming cover and put a digital caliper gauge between the two cam marks and it's reading 123.3mm and the spec is 124-126 from what I've read. And I'm looking at the timming marks on cams and timming marks on lower timming cover and crank pulley and there all dead on and cyl 1 is tdc aswell.
You really REALLY need to dig into the mechanics of the timing because that is bad. On paper, VW / Audi generally say +/-5 degrees from 0.0. What I have noticed is once you get past +/- 3.0 degrees, you can start having issues.... your engine is just beyond 19 degrees so... yeah, not good.
