    as i hope you can see it's only a mm or 2 out at the dizzy
    would this cause the 515 fault code

    also had it at a garage vw place in newark and he tryed to time it with a timing light and said it was just in the specs
    but also been told you have to use vagcom to time it

    please help

    p.s the dizzy is stuck fast in the hole any ideas how to remove it with out damage
    i have all ready soked it in wd40​

    its the short to b+ code

    took this piccy too surely the gap in the plate should be inline with the hall sender when at tdc

    you cant adjust it with a timing light, thats where he went wrong. on the AGG and ADY engine you need to set the dizzy to TDC exactly, not before or after. then you log into vag-com to confirm the adjustment, plus fine tune it if required.

    see my sig, aggadydizzy1.pdf and aggadydizzy2.pdf

    edit: and on some the dizzy is locked into place, so you need to adjust it at the intermediate shaft pulley rather than moving the dizzy. if you cant fine tune it enough then you can remove the locking pins if required. but you shouldnt have to do this as long as the dizzy has never been moved
