This is something you will need you users manual for. You can get this with your vehicle or order a new copy from the manufacturer.
There is no distributor on this engine. It has a DIS (Distributorless Ignition System). Timing is done electronically.
No you cannot set the timing it is controlled by the ECM.
Under normal driving conditions, the timing chain should last the life of the engine.
That requires an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing because it is computor controled.
there is no ignition timing adjustment it is computer controlled. gm Jim
To set distributor timing on a VS 96 Golf 2.0, hook the timing gun up to the power. Ground the terminals on the battery and hook the sensor that accompanies the timing gun to the number one cylinder spark plug wire.
