hi all. Sorry to ask such a simple question, but cant find the answer in the book or online. what is the firing order for a 2.1 fuel injected t25 1989 caravelle. i understand that the rotor has to point to the mark on the distributor body, but which piston does the lead go to, then 2, 3 and 4. Want to make sure i get it right when i put it all back together.
Thanks.

Mark

Notch on disstributer is for #1, clockwise rotation, the firing order is the same as all VW flat 4's, 1-4-3-2.

Or ant-clockwise.🙄

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
