How to adjust the ignition timing on an Audi 80?

I need to adjust the ignition timing on my Audi 80. Can someone give a step-by-step guide on how to do it correctly and what tools I will need?

To adjust the ignition timing on your Audi 80, you will need a timing light, a wrench, and a very steady hand. Begin by loosening the distributor clamp and rotating the distributor until the timing marks line up. Use the timing light to ensure the marks stay aligned. Make small adjustments as needed to achieve the desired timing.

On most Audi 80 models, the ignition timing can be adjusted by adjusting the distributor or by using a computer scan tool. First, check the timing with the engine running and the transmission in neutral. If it is not within specifications, adjust the timing using the distributor or scan tool.

Before adjusting the ignition timing on your Audi 80, make sure the engine is warm and idling at the proper speed. Then, locate the distributor and loosen the locking bolt. Use a timing light to ensure the timing marks are lined up and adjust the distributor accordingly. Double check the timing with the light after making any adjustments.
