My 1.8 fox engine gave in. So I bought a 2.0 polo engine that had been change from feulinjection to carburetor. Know I have problems with my timing. hope anyone can help me. camshaft timing? ignition timing? So you installed the 2.0 engine into the FOX? Are you staying with the carb or going with the fuel injection? > My 1.8 fox engine gave in. So I bought a 2.0 polo engine that had been > change from feulinjection to carburetor.

If the timing is set by a timing lite and you want to start it, it is like the battery is flat. OK How is the ignition advancing? Are there vacuum controls on the distributor?

My old distributor does not fit because the housing and gear is smaller than the polo distributor. I cant find another distributor with vacuum cotrols that does fit. Well that surely is a problem if the ignition timing can not advance or retard! Engine should run crappy! How is the spark created? From the distributor Hall Sensor or from the CranKshaft position Sensor (Engine Speed Sensor)? I will assume that you don't have a functioning Knock Sensor either!

If the revs is at 5 & half thousand the car starts to gerk. As soon as the car goes up a hill it starts to gerk again. Is it the carburettor of the 1.8l carburettor to small for the 2.0l polo. Will it help if I put bigger main jets in to the carburettor. It might be a fuel related problem now. You did not mention how it runs with the ignition working well nor what you did to fix it! How did you sort out the distributor issues? Maybe the engine is not receiving enough fuel due to that carb or the fuel getting to the carb. It almost sounds like a low fuel in the bowl condition. Does this engine have an Oxygen Sensor and controls on the carb? Does the exhaust have any restrictions in it? Is it big enough for the 2.0 engine? I think that VW, at least here in the USA, stuck in a restrictor right after the catalytic converter to probably slow the VW Foxes down some! They did not want the Foxes to beat out the more expensive GTIs from the light! lol On Jan 10, 2:14 am, Jim Behning <jimbehn...@doesthisblockpork.mindspring.com> wrote: > From Techtonics > [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] > > - Show quoted text - I have sorted the timing problem.
