If this is a 1.2 without timing marks, the camshaft is not keyed to the pulley. The cam pulley bolt is slackened, the crank and cam held with the tools. This sets the cam and crank correctly to each other. Then the belt is fitted and tensioned, then tighten the pulley bolt. Detailed quite well in Haynes.timing belt is impossible to fit while the cam is locked in place. Had to back it up one tooth fit the belt. Turned the engine over a few times. Timing doesn't quite line up. About the same as when I took it apart.

There's loads of false information on the internet. Including some with incorrect timing marks on the older 8v's, which is the spread all over the place.The cam and crank locks require the cam pulley to be loosened.
