Tuneup instructions that ask you to set the timing at a speed other
than idle are generally asking you to do this at max advance, so you
can do this at any point at or above the stated rpm. You can check
this by just watching the timing and noting that it advances as the
rpms increase until it reaches some plateau and then holds steady
there.
That helps you with the Jetta timing, but not with the Type 3 idle
speed.
