[QUOTE="atafonso, post: 602038, member: 23592"] If your rolling road tuner is not an old school or aquainted with the aircooled VW engine you might be better off finding another one. The ACVW engine needs to be a bit on the rich side to work and cool properly. Modern mechanics tend not know that and tune all engines as they do water cooled ones, leaving us old farts with flat spots, over heating and high fuel consumption. Any mechanic that knows how to use a timing light should be able to identify if your distributor is advancing correctly, so before you change the dist make sure your tuner knows his onions. The fact you left the RR and still unhappy kind of ring some bells. I have both dists if you want to borrow them, let me know and i can post it for you or we can meet sometime in the next three weeks as i will be in Chepstow if you not in a hurry. Abel [/QUOTE]
