My tech sets the timing in the following sequence.
1. Times Crank to TDC and locks using crank locking pin (Audi Special Tool).
2. Then locks all cams using the locking bars.
3. Ensures mechanical adjusters are both in locked position and then fits them, then uses the wedge (Audi Special Tool) to ensure the chain is tensioned and then sets the cam timing wheels on the front of the adjusters, then torques everything up.
* As the cams/mechanical adjusters have no woodroof key to locate the adjusters onto the cam, if anything this makes it easier a as you just fit the mechanical adjuster and line it up with the chain link v tooth on the adjuster.
* Don't forget you can only use those cam shaft bolts once........ It's a pain for people like us who've had do to the job twice due to defective new parts.
