You searched for a part for your distributor. Many different distributors have been used over the years, in many cases they are interchangeable on other engines. The chance that your distributor is not what was installed by Volkswagen at the time is great. If you use our 'Distributor / ignition Tool', all available parts for your distributor are shown.
Almost all engines are equipped as standard with a distributor with centrifugal and/or vacuum advance.
The diaphragm of the vacuum box may break, so that the correct advance can no longer take place. This vacuum box cannot be repaired, but can only be replaced in its entirety.
