Re: It's all about timing

Rich,

How on earth do yo shine your light down the timing hole on a 16V.  I have been trying for some time to find a "window" between all the wires an hoses.  If I can shoot the hole clearly with the light, I can't get an eyeball near enough to see what's what.  Can you time these with the engine off like a Beetle?  Or does the hall sensor need to be "in flight".
