'Hi, the Golf Mk3 was running great until now. The problem is that the preheating light suddenly started flashing, there's no power anymore, and error code 01237 is displayed, which indicates a timing adjustment issue.'

What could it be this time? The posts always only mention the fuel shut-off valve, but nothing about ignition timing adjustment. And there's no fuel visible or smellable in the engine compartment either.
Hoping for a quick recovery so he can run again soon. Best regards, Chriss.

It's not about adjusting the ignition timing; it's about adjusting the ignition angle.

Be careful that Rainer doesn't "teach" you a lesson with the VAGCOM crack -> delete user method...

You were faster, Ulf...

Everyone has their chance; what are you doing with yours, Chriss?

Where did you obtain your VAG-COM license, and which software version did you purchase?
License code?

Best regards, Rainer.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I only have a shareware version.

Best regards, Chriss.

Hello, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I only have a shareware version.

I'd say: Wrong answer...
