Re: Von Zeplins question
I picked it up, got the engine to temp for a timing check via vagcom
Initially Timing Graphic showed yellow unable to graph due to advanced timing (timing number 93)
I had him adjust the IP per instructions (loosen 3 bolts, nudge the 22m sprocket)
First nudge counter clockwise to retard the advanced timing, brought it to 30-34 timing number, and halfway between blue and red.
Second Nudge Clockwise to advance timing brought the yellow line to between blue and green, with a timing number of 57-60
I opted to stop there for now.
I was working off of this thread http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=240450
as the suggested 'just below blue line for optimized fuel efficiency with no affected performance' etc etc.
Is it recommended to just get it to the 70-72 per 'spec' or will this timing that it is at now do, what will the ramifications of a 57-60 timing spec bring me long term, short term etc.
