I got to drive my 1.8 8V GTI again after a while (6 months) and it feels slower than what I remember.

Although I drive a higher HP car and/or truck daily and might just be used to having a bit more go, the GTI just doesn't seem to have that pull in the upper RPMs. As I've checked everything I know how to check, I'm thinking that maybe the cam timing is off. How can I know for sure?

BTW, the car fires up on the first try, idles properly, revs freely and doesn't stall or sputter...it runs fine, really. But I'd like to be certain that the cam timing is what it should be. Please advise.

TIA!
