OT Mk2 Golf need help quick.
Turbo Mini Forums

ok we are losing light here in Newcastle, my mates Mk2 1800 8v golf is being a bitch, i have noticed that the timing appears to be 180 deg out. can anyone confirm which piston is number one ? is it as per the mini 1 + 4 (each end of the block) and 2+3 in the center ? when the outer pair of pistons are at tdc the cam pulley and rotor arm are 180 deg out....

1-3-4-2 with no. 1 spark plug being on the cam-belt side of the engine and no. 4 plug by the gearbox end.

finding tdc remember no.1 cylinder on compression stroke and then see where the rotor point and note its rotation fit ht leads in order from there,
hope that helps i gotta run..

Sounds like when you are timing it up you are timing it up on Number 4.

If you then spin the crank round 360 (180 at the cam) you should be timed up on number 1.

or have i missunderstood your post?

EDIT: Unsure how the flywheel can be 180 out when number 1 is at TDC....

ahh ok, sounds like your just timing it up on number 4 then. spin the crank 360 and all should be lined up.

You can put the flywheel on 180 degree out as well on these LOL
