What exactly comes with the Ignition Distributor [Late Vanagon] kit?

This is a complete unit designed to get your ignition system back up to snuff. It includes the new aftermarket ignition distributor, a new hall sensor unit, a distributor cap, an ignition rotor, and the necessary distributor drive O-ring.

I've read the Bentley manual for my Vanagon; should I follow those installation steps?

For this specific ignition distributor, we recommend ignoring the Bentley manual as it is overly complicated. Instead, rotate your engine to TDC #1, replace the distributor and clock it so the rotor points toward the #1 spark plug wire, then start the engine and set the timing to 35 degrees at 3000rpm.

The distributor cap has numbering on it—can I trust the firing order listed there?

On occasion, the cap may have the incorrect firing order listed. To avoid engine misfires, please ignore the cap markings and install your ignition wires in the correct firing order for all flat-four VW engines: 1-4-3-2.

Will installing this distributor automatically fix my engine's poor running issues?

While a worn-out distributor or hall sensor is a common cause of no-start or sluggish performance, changing any one part of your EFI system can sometimes cause different running issues because other settings may have compensated for the old part over time. We require following the baseline settings procedure in the Bentley manual after installation to ensure optimal performance.

Ce nouveau distributeur d’allumage de rechange est un composant essentiel au bon fonctionnement de votre moteur. Il est chargé d’envoyer l’étincelle à chaque cylindre au moment précis où il faut pour enflammer le mélange air-carburant.

À mesure que ces véhicules vieillissent, nous constatons de plus en plus de problèmes de mauvais fonctionnement (voire de non-démarrage) dus à l’usure des pièces relatives à cette partie du système d’allumage. Qu’il s’agisse du distributeur lui-même, du capteur électronique « Hall », ou du moindre mais essentiel ensemble composé du chapeau et du rotor, cette unité complète garantira que cette partie de votre système est en parfait état. Joint torique inclus.

Cette pièce comprend :
• Un nouveau distributeur de rechange
• Un nouveau capteur Hall
• Un nouveau chapeau de distributeur - Standard de rechange, ou Bosch Deluxe
• Un nouveau rotor d’allumage - Standard de rechange, ou Bosch Deluxe
• Un nouveau joint torique d’entraînement du distributeur

Remarque importante pour l’installation : Ces nouveaux distributeurs sont fournis avec un chapeau de distributeur et un rotor d’allumage préinstallés de qualité relativement faible. Il arrive que le chapeau indique l’ordre d’allumage incorrect. L’ordre d’allumage correct pour tous les moteurs VW à quatre cylindres à plat est 1-4-3-2. Veuillez brancher vos fils d’allumage dans cet ordre. Dans le cas contraire, votre moteur aura des ratés d’allumage. Assurez-vous également que le rotor d’allumage est fermement enclenché et bien en butée sur l’arbre. S’il n’est pas entièrement enclenché, il risque d’endommager le chapeau (et de se détériorer lui-même) en tournant. Nous vous recommandons vivement d’acheter le kit Deluxe, qui comprend un chapeau et un rotor Bosch de la plus haute qualité.

Distributor

'91 Carat hasn't been feeling well for quite a long time. I just couldn't find out why she seemed sluggish and loosing power. Last winter I replaced the distributor cap & rotoe along with new plug wires. Found no improvement in performance. The only thing left was the distributor. So I got you to send the entire package...cables, cap, rotor & distributor. Installed everything, set the timing and this puppy runs like a stalled cat! We'll at least like she should & better than she has in years. My order was packaged properly & shipped & delivered on time. THANKS GUYS!

REQUIRES AGGRESSIVE TIMING ADJUSTMENT

The quality and performance of this distributor is fine. I can't give it five stars because the typical high level of installation documentation from Go-Westy was mysteriously lacking. Upon installing in roughly the same position as the stock distributor with the Hall sender plug pointing at about the 10 o'clock position, I noticed that the rotor's alignment was about 20 degrees clockwise from the position of the OEM rotor. I roughly "timed" the distributor by comparing and matching when the hell sender window engaged the sensor on each. It was close enough to run the engine and then time it properly according to the "35 degree" template method. In other-other words, you can't follow the Bently manual that shows the rotor center aligned with the lock nut collar. Following that would break the motor if you tried to start it up. 1991 Vanagon GL

Hi Kent, we checked this part and it is indeed slightly different than the original distributor. They work, but you are correct that they will sit in a different position than the original when timed. However, any position the distributor sits in will never break the engine. It just won't start. We have sent these findings to the manufacturer and they are correcting the next batch. Safe travels out there!

worked great thanks

Part did not seem to work very well. Reinstalled original distributor and van ran way better

Hi Jeff, we are sorry the replacement distributor didn't work for you. We have had excellent success with them. We are here to help you with a refund or exchange. All the best, GoWesty

Crank no start was a faulty Hall sensor. Drop in this baby and I'm good!

Work great

I Fallow the tutorial step by step, was easy and now feel like new engine and run alot better
Thanks

Came as advertised. Though the numbering on the cap does not match what is existing on the older distributor

.

1990 vanagon stalled. Cranks as long as the battery is charged. Crank,crank,crank and no start.

I searched all over the internet to get some hints as to what was going on. I have a GoWesty engine installed 3 years ago, 2.45 I believe. I didn't suspect the engine. I suspected that the folks that replaced it did't recommend changing some of the parts that i think they should have. I wasn't skimping so I know that if they had asked I would have paid for the rebuild of whatever they recommended.

On to my problem with the engine no-start but cranked. I didn't want to spend too much time or money on trying some things on my own. I narrowed it down to the no-start problem being the Hall sensor. I ordered the Ignition Distributor, ~100 bucks, because it was half as much as the Hall sensor. Also, part of my decision, the distributor was easy to install. It fixed my problem and my van started right up.

In the future, if I want to replace the Hall Sensor on the old distributor I removed I may do that. Or I can save my money and buy the Fuel Injection Component Replacement Kit which is what I would like to do since it has lots of benefits to it.
