Right. I have read previous posts regarding this and was getting confused about whether the TDC mark on the flywheel is a dot or a notch or ???. This one seems to have a line scribed in, as per the picture. So is the ignition timing out or just the cam timing?

Hi all, I have just bought a 1995 2.0 16V Corrado. The previous owner had a pair of cams from a KR 16V fitted, along with a chip, and with this setup it apparently made 166bhp on Stealth's rolling road. Sometime after this he has had the cam belt changed. When I got the car I was less than impressed with the throttle response, and the light-load running of the engine. Under full load the car pulls cleanly, but the power falls away just on 6000RPM. So today just out of curiosity, I decided to whip off the inspection plug from the gearbox, the top cam belt cover and the dizzy cap. Using the flywheel notch/mark, I set the engine to TDC. The rotor arm points right at the notch in the dizzy body. But the mark on the cam sprocket is 1 tooth advanced from the arrow cast into the cam cover. Please see the pics below (if they've linked properly- quite new to this posting malarky!!) Is this correct with KR cams - do they need to be set up advanced? Or has someone fitted the belt incorrectly? It would seem to me that the ignition timing should be about right, but I'd be really grateful if someone could confirm this. Many thanks in advance Gareth

Hi All, First of all, apologies if this question has been asked a thousand times before! I have used the Search function in the top right but I've not really found what I'm after, so here goes:- I am looking at buying a 1995 2.0 16V Corrado; I previously had a Golf Mk2 8V GTi which I then changed for a Honda Civic (sorry, :gag: ) but now I fancy something VAG shaped once more. Can anyone tell me what model of alarm is fitted to the above car. It has a Scorpion standard fit total closure alarm, but I need the actual model number for insurance purposes. I have seen on a different thread that someone's VR of similar vintage is fitted with a Scorpion 918. The car I'm looking at has the same type of remote fob, so can I take it as read that is this the same as the ones fitted to the 16V? After all, we all know what assumption did...... Many thanks in advance for any help, Gareth.
