Scrap yard distributor - from which VAG cars?

[The Mighty Elvi]

I might need to replace the oil leaking distributor on my 1991 mk2 16v gti KR, if I can't clean it and replace the o-ring and get it working.

So failing the scrappy having a 16v gti in-situ, which other VAG vehicles can I pinch a suitable/identical distributor from??

cheers.

P.S where can I get a replacement o-ring from to stop the oil leak if the stealers don't do them?

You should be able to pic an O-ring up form your local motor factors

Hi
When you do that, do you just match it by eye or softness or anything else eg material.

Its an o-ring, just take it to them and say i want one of these. They should have a box with different sizes

In the end I had to buy a new dizzy as repairs were very "temporary".  If you can't repair it, don't feel too bummed out, as a nice new dizzy is NOT a waste of money.

is it the internal one or external?  The outside one should be avail off the shelf at any motorfactors, the internal one is an odd size, the one you need is 12x19x5 http://simplybearings.co.uk/ do em and they aint spensive.  However strippign the dizzy down to fit it is a mare of a job, the pin in the end really doesnt like being bashed out.  Next time I'm just gonna get another dizzy

Any k-jet 16v will do you, MK2 KR, Corrado KR/9a and Audi 6a.  Good luck finding any o these down the scrappy though, but usually theres a couple on ebay.  A MK3 Polo CL one will work at a push too, not ideal but it'll keep you motoring.  You could also use a non injection vac advance one again just to keep you motoring, if say you had a problem stripping down the 16v dizzy to replace above o'ring.  The ignition curve wont be ideal but I've seen plenty of 16v run this way, mostly for show rather than go though

Actually I remember someone mentionign a Pug 306 one fitted but minds gone blank on which one and how they got it working...

Danny is the GT Polo dizzy pretty much spot on for a MK2 16v then?

edit: found the thread, its a peugeot 205 1.9 GTI dizzy which is vac advance and supposedly works pretty well on a 16v.  Not done it mesen tho!

This all relates to my other thread.

Can you get the hall sender seperately?

polo gt  dizzy doset have any advance mech built in.  so same in that respect  and polo dizzys fit  as use then hen running carbs on 16vs if after a ubeer easy solution

you will find the same distributor on other KR and ABF engines, without the flying saucer. so 1.8/2.0 16v seats golfs.

i sold a working one on ebay for 99p a few weeks ago. eurocarparts sell them new (pattern part) for about £80 iirc.
