mk 2 distro
« on: 03 August 2010, 22:31 »
can anybody suggest where I might get a distro for my 86 mk2  golf. I am looking for a new unit ( as the springs in mine no longer work). tried a few places, but the same answer: no longer available !

Cheers

Distributor obviously....a more appropriate question would be the type of engine the distributor is for.....

Been away for some time, and was unable to get to a PC, the engine type is EV, which is the 8 valve 1.8 k-jetronic type, the distro, or should I say Distributor is a bosch unit part number 026905205AK

Thanks

When was it obvious that distro meant distributor?

Weirdo.   :huh:

Yes. I'm weird for using common sense...a commodity that appears to be lacking in most people these days.  :lipsrsealed:

According to MSL (VW in Dublin) the correct dizzy for my engine is 026905205AK, I presume there is more than one unit to fit the car. I also looked at 123 ignition, as I have heard good reports, but I suspect they dont make a unit for the MK2, pity.
