> I`m struggling to get the timing on my type 3 1500S model set exactly right. At the moment, it runs ok, but when accelerating, it occasionally `jerks` - not to noticably, but it should definitely be smoother. > Check out the timing info on the website - it's from the factory and as long as you have the original distributor it is the best to rely on. http://www.hallvw.clara.net/type3ign.htm . The advice for the 1500S is to remove a plug lead or two to reduce the idle as the advance begins below normal idle speed. It's the middle mark of the three, you do it at max 700 rpm with the vac hose off. Dave.
