4000 Q ignition timing

[VW FREAK]

where do you ck the timing on the 4000Q? I am used to removing the flywheel
plug on my VW's. I saw 3 holes in the bellhousing, but I aimed my light at
them and saw no timing marks, unless I am doing something stupid like using
the wrong igntion lead- cylinder closest to the front end is #1, right? I
think the timing is low- I turned it up a tad anyway, and it seemed to idle
smoother and rev a little better, but I have not driven it yet.

y'all never said what a BITCH it is to replace rear struts on these cars, I
have been at it most of the day. Of course, having one strut seize inside
the housing was a neat diversion- never had to use a slidehammer in quite
that way before. I bet the timing belt is fun too.
