a 4 degree retard on #3 cylinder. This was because VW felt that the restricted
air flow over the 3-4 side of the engine from the oil cooler would cause #3
cylinder to run hot. By retarding that cylinder 4* , VW felt there would be
enough "safety factor" built in to keep it from over heating. As we all know,
the VW engineers were overly cautious in their designs, and usually err'd on the
side of over kill. ;-)<BR>
