The timing advance for a 1600cc Volkswagen (VW) engine typically ranges from 5 to 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) at idle, depending on the specific model and year. For optimal performance, it may be adjusted slightly higher when the engine is running at higher RPMs. It's essential to refer to the specific service manual for your engine variant to ensure accurate settings.

I really depends on what distributor you have on the engine. It could be a mechanical advance distributor or a vacuum advance distributor (stock). Google "the Somba" Volkswagen forum and all will be explained.
