Firing Order & Timing Marks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Volkswagen Corrado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: To identify firing order and distributor rotation, See Fig 1 .

Ignition coil pack, new for 1993, is located on left side of cylinder head. When ignition coil is triggered, spark is supplied to 2 spark plugs at one time. One spark plug fires during compression stroke and the other plug fires during exhaust stroke (waste spark).
