School boy error!!

I know I'm a tit before I get abused!!

I got a golf gti, 2.0 8v (2e engine code). I took the HT leads of the dizzy cap when puttin a new one on and for got the order they went back on....

Think I may have also tried to start the car with the leads on the wrong order so therefor the timings probably up sh*t creek bow aswell.

So basically could some one show/tell me the order it should fire and also how to adjust the cylinders so that if it is out of time I can put it back to normal!

i cant help you with the posistion of the leads    but your timing wont be affected     just need to put leads on correctly

Timing won't be affected.

Follow the wires to the correct positions

Line it up TDC, with the marks on the camshaft pulley, wherever it is, that's number 1. Then go 1-3-4-2 in clockwise I THINK.

Anyone confirm?

my dizzy cap has the numbers stamped on it for the ht leads

Line it up TDC, with the marks on the camshaft pulley, wherever it is, that's number 1. Then go 1-3-4-2 in clockwise I THINK.

Anyone confirm?

Correct, number 1 being closest to engine wiring connector.

super stuff! cheers for the quick replys! so if i put the leads back on in order then it will b ok? and the timing wont be affected?

Why would timing be affected? You've not messed with the camshaft or the timing belt

Or moved the distributor body?
