Overview
In a Volkswagen engine bay, this billet electronic distributor takes the place of the original unit and plugs in through a male connector. The distributor cap is packed with it.
A single listed application makes the buying decision simple, and the long electronics warranty covers the module for years. Nothing else interchanges, so it is useful only to owners of the named engine.
Who it's for
Owners restoring or repairing the named Volkswagen engine can use it as a direct swap. People with other engines should skip it, since the listing says it has no other interchange part numbers.
Pros and cons
- Cap included in the package
- Long electronics warranty
- Vehicle specific fit
- One application only
- Mechanical warranty shorter than electronics
Performance notes
The electronic module replaces mechanical contact points, so spark timing does not drift as parts wear. The plug-in connector simplifies the hookup compared with wiring a distributor by hand.
