16v distributor

Dec 16, 2003 3 Replies

I suspect that my hall sender is on the outs. I have found a distributor parts kit that includes the hall sender for significantly less than a new distributor. Is it feasible to take the distributor apart and put in a new hall sender? Or should I just slap a new one in and be done with it? Thanks, Kurt

Hi, Where did you find this kit? Does it include the seals stopping the common oil leaks through the shaft? I usually have to install new ones since kits are difficult to find for the

16Vs or the digifant IIs. Doing the new one makes it really quick! ;-) thanks! later, dave Reminder........ Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes. Frieda Norris

Dave, I found the kit on thepartsbin.com. I doesn't include seals of anything. But as far as I can tell, mine isn't leaking oil. I haven't found a substantial amount of oil in the cap or anything like that. Kurt

thanks Kurt, I also saw their rebuilt dist. ($185) for only $78 more than the Hall unit/1

237 010 027 ($107) and it looks like it comes complete with cap and rotor. They do charge a $50 core on it though! I am still looking for seals too! later, dave
