http://www.loam.org/vw/Vanagon/VanagonProTraining/DigiFant/ This doesn't answer your specific question but may come in handy at times. Engine layout: cylinders in right: 1 and 2; on the left: 3 and 4. 1 and 3 are across from each other; 2 and 4 across from each other. # 1 cylinder is nearest the flywheel. Firing order: 1-4-3-2. Distributor rotor rotation is clockwise. #1 cylinder wire on the dist. cap is nearest the main engine pulley, directly above the distributor tightening nut below. Starting there, be sure the wires on the distributor, in clockwise rotation order, go to cylinders 1-4-3-2. Hope that helps ............ and fixes your tune up. Bob Stevens

Ok, I think I screwed up... Changed spark plugs, rotor, cap, wires and air filter today... Engine wouldn't start. Put all the old stuff back in, thinking I'd go one at a time to see where the problem was, engine wouldn't start with all the old stuff back in... It cranks, tries to turn over but never does. I gapped the plugs to .28, made sure all the wires and the cap were nice and tight... Is the firing order in the Bentley or owners manual? I can't seem to find it...

Any suggestions? Feel free to email me, I'll be back in to check every so often, or gimme a call (Collect even!) at 609-434-0369

Thanks,
