With no 02 sensor what’s a good way to adjust the fuel dist fuel mixture.
Any way without using a gas anilizer? New engine and runs smooth but just want to know.

I'm assuming you are talking about the base idle mixture. Adjust the mixture until the engine starts to run slower/worst. The middle ground is close. I like to run on the lean side.

Well that’s what I thought. Counterclockwise leans the idle mixture.
I haven’t driven it yet. Just a little idle time till it ready to go.

If you're cheap, which tends to describe 99& 44/100ths of the VW crowd, you can whip up an inexpensive O2 sensor setup using a Voltmeter...
