The firing order is:
* 1-3-4-2
Here's how the cylinders are arranged and numbered:
* Cylinder 1: Located at the front of the engine, closest to the radiator.
* Cylinder 2: Located on the driver's side, next to cylinder 1.
* Cylinder 3: Located on the passenger's side, next to cylinder 2.
* Cylinder 4: Located at the rear of the engine, closest to the transmission.
This arrangement is typical for most 4-cylinder Volkswagen engines of that era.
