    Whilst putting my new rotor arm and dizzy cap on yesterday, i decided to change my HT leads to, but i think i might have put one of them back in the wrong order.:o

    Does anyone know the order they are supposed to go in, just for peace of mind... :thumbup:

    Its a 1.8 8v GTi PB lump...

    Thanks :thumbup:

    Providing the rotor arm turns clockwise when cranking then yes 1-3-4-2 is the correct firing order..

    #1 should be approximately where the notch on the dizzy body.
