Ignition advance setup
Posted: Mon Nov 19, 2018 12:37 pm
Hi,
I've searched through as best I can but not seen any mention of this topic anywhere. We've got a 1.0 MPi 6N2 Polo that's been running pretty nicely since we sorted all new ignition parts a couple of years ago. Just recently it's started struggling to pull away, and testing it with my old Gunson's timing gun it seems that there's no ignition advance when you blip the throttle from idle - which would explain why it bogs down a bit. My question is simply how is this supposed to work on the Polo? I can't find any obvious hose or sensor but assume it's electronic as there's a coil pack rather than distributor and similar.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Simon.
