I’ve had pre marked belts in the past but I’m not a big fan of them. I prefer to check the timing marks and do things that way just for my own peace of mind, since a small mistake on the belt could really mess you around later on. I did a punto belt that had its own markings on it once and they were so far out it was ridiculous. Luckily its non interference and I timed it off the marks anyway. 🙂
Number 1 for me has to be completing jobs someone else started.
I’ve had this plenty of times in my old place and in one example there was a car in for faulty passenger front elec window and the other technician had ripped off the door cards on both sides, cut the plastic sealing, removed the window motors and then the locking mechanism on the passenger side and unwrapped all the related wiring from its insulation.
It stayed with us for 3 days until he was due a day off and it fell on me to get rid of it. The problem turned out to be a broken wire inside the rubber gaiter in the drivers door jam and it took literally 30 seconds to find (this is always the first place I look with these sort of issues). Fixing the problem was nice and simple, but I had to refit everything that was removed from both doors with a single pile of screws and fixings. haha, ahhhhhh how I hate fixing other peoples half jobs.Number 1 for me has to be completing jobs someone else started.
