Hello everyone happy easter,
Im just posting to find out if anyone has a diagram(and photos if you have?)
for the timing marks on a 2001 polo playa 1.6i 8v (AFX engine code). I have
searched around on the forum and I did find a lot of info on timing but I didn't
see anyone posting an issue with this motor (AFX). If anyone has a diagram and
photos if possible for me that will be awesome.
Thanks !

Re: 2001 Polo Playa 1.6i 8v Timing marks (engine afx)
Did you change the cambelt lately or something that you want to fiddle with the timing?
Cam timing you set with a similar way as this thread:

But for ignition timing you going to need access to a digital timing light and VCDS software in order to lock the ECU in timing mode.

Re: 2001 Polo Playa 1.6i 8v Timing marks (engine afx)
hey thanks for the reply. those timing marks were the 1. I didn't want to fiddle, just wanted to check that it wasn't out a bit. having over fueling problems. are there any other things to look at with regards to over fueling? well, using higher then normal fuel consumption. I know about giving the car a good service but would there be anything else to look at? Thanks

Re: 2001 Polo Playa 1.6i 8v Timing marks (engine afx)
On the mp9 cars the usual culprit for over fueling is the temp sensor.
Best is to swop it out for a new one. its a quick fix. GW should be able to help

Nope water temp sensor.
Sits on the front top water pipe going into the head from the radiator.
