Hello have been having some running problems with my 1997 Polo 1.4 16V and I would like to check that the ignition timing is correct.
I think that the distributor may have been moved by someone in the past to offset the fact that they put the cam belt on a tooth or two out, and now that I have replaced the cam belt correctly (and checked several times) it does not run right.
I've been told that you need to do it with VAGCOM but I cant find any guides, can someone please help?
Cheers
Dom

Get a hold of the ElsaWin software (about £5 on eBay) it's what the VW Dealers use and it's a great thing to have on your laptop along with VAG-COM
The reason the Dealers use it is because it is Dealer only software.
If you do buy it on ebay you will be buying an ilegal copy.

Nope, you're right, kittens are safe.
I was going to just ignore what you said, but coupled with your other post...
