[Mk2] [Turbo] Replacing Distributor oring

Post by killerferret666 »

Is it a simple case of being able to just whip off the distributor (marking the position etc... obviously) or do I need to take anything else off, like Cam cover etc...

undo dizzy plug, remove leads from dizzy, mark the dizzy location, remove the 2 big bolts and pull out.

ideally when refitting, its worth checking the timing again with a timing gun just for peace of mind.

just a note to say when putting back in, worth removing the cap just so you can rotate it so the dizzy end slots back into the camshaft.
