Got a version of Vag-Com working & it says timing is around 1 degree BTDC. Less at revs. Is that sufficient to warrant doing the timing?
Yeah, this one I've recently finished repaired snapped the cam belt, and the injector pump belt wasn't too far behind. Was badly cracked on both sides, and was starting to shed a few teeth.

To check the timing you need to go to the timing graph.
Very roughly, go to 01 Engine.
Measuring Blocks 08
Group 000
Click Go
Switch to basic settings [TDI Timing will appear]
Click on TDI Timing
A graph should now appear telling you whether the timing is too far advanced, or retarded or spot on.
Coolant temp must be 85C or above to show timing. This can take a while at this time of the year to bring
back to temp after any adjustment. Raise revs above idling to around 2000 revs.
To read temp, move to 02 & click GO. Coolant temp. will appear on RHS.
Before you can go into timing graph again, you need to go back to page where VIN appears [01-Engine]
Let us know how you get on.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
