How do you timing on 1992 vw cabriolet engine?

Answer 1

To set the timing on a 1992 VW Cabriolet, first ensure the engine is at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley with the timing scale on the engine case. Next, check the distributor's rotor position; it should point towards the number one spark plug wire. Finally, adjust the distributor as needed to achieve the correct timing specification, usually around 6-10 degrees BTDC, while using a timing light to confirm accuracy.
