[Vwdiesel] 1.6TD Timing issue

[mark shepherd]

If the engine runs better where you time it to then do so. Just maintain the 
cam to flywheel positions.  Actual timing is affected by injector pressures, 
and also wear in pump's vane pump, altering internal pressure, and weakness 
in the advance mechanism, and wear in the high pressure side.
