Hi all,

Based on this graph that I pulled with Vag-com, should I adjust the timing to retard it? Car has 75k miles and dealer did complete timing belt at 68k in January.
Can the timing vary out of spec in 8k miles? Or is it likely they set it too advanced in the first place?
The car starts perfectly and runs great. I see about 40-41mpg overall with the auto.
Thanks,
Brian

Try selecting the correct engine for your car from the dropdown in the bottom right corner. Your timing is probably ok. I wouldn't mess with it if the car is running fine. Your mileage is not bad either.

Thanks. What do I choose in the drop-down list?
I don't recall seeing ALH or VE, so I took the default.

Doh! I did the same thing, I overlooked that box... :(

Timefor me to recheck the timing I suppose. Thanks! :D
