Distributor Cap On A 1.6

[floodys 4 1 Cars]

Just had a quick search but couldn't find any info so could someone let me know if a 1.6 Gti on a H have only one type of cap/rotor? Can't get to the car to check before I fit new parts to see what it has, so not sure if it has a clip cap or screw and if it should be a male/female cap. Seem to remember there was something about black and orange caps? I know I could get a choice and take but not sure how many "choices" there would be! Cheers

On an H-reg it is probably the later type Bosch male cap that's shared with 1.9 GTi (non-CAT) models. However, I wouldn't want to order parts based on that!

That's cool, the guy thinks it's a screw on cap, so could be right, is there only a screw on cap which is male and then a clip on cap and female? For the 1.6 and 1.9?

I think that there are only 2 types as you say, a male/screw and female/clip type of cap, but happy to be told otherwise.

Sorry yes, should have said - the Bosch male cap used on 1.9's and later 1.6's is the screw on type. Bosch female cap from earlier 1.6's is clip-on.
