The specification for timing is 6 degrees BDTC +/- 1 degree on my 89 Jetta GLI 16V (1.8L) and there is a "V Groove" timing mark on the flywheel 12 mm to the left of the "O" TDC mark on the flywheel (Bentley manual). My question is that when I set the timing using my new adjustable timing light where I can vary the amount of "advance" in degrees, do I set the light to 6 degrees advance and use the "V Groove" timing mark? Or do I leave the light set to 0 degrees since the timing mark on the flywheel already takes into account the "6 degrees advance" since it is 12 mm to the left of the TDC mark which is indicated by a "O" on the flywheel?
