[QUOTE="owent2005, post: 599737, member: 24476"] Hi all, Im after fitting an electronic ignition but before i get started I have a query about statically timing the engine once the new system is fitted. The instructions say that the notch in the bottom pulley lined up with the split in the engine case is TDC. They then go on to say that most VW engines are timed at 7.5 degrees before TDC so line up the notch on the pulley with the split in the engine case. Im confused, is the notch on the bottom pulley (I only have one notch on the pulley) a. the marker for TDC or b. 7.5 degrees before TDC when lined up with the split in the engine case? Also, if the timing is a little off, i.e. the notch on the pulley not correctly lined up by 7.5 degrees what would be the consequences? Any pointers would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
