chrisj21 2 Posted June 6, 2008 Ive been getting a missfire with my 1.9 recently so i thought it about time i had a look into it. I found that two of the pins inside the dizzy cap have completely worn away but the other two are like new. I also had the exact same problem on my 1.6. Just wondering if its a usual thing or if its the way the dizzy cap has been fitted? Any experiance? Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saveloy 8 Posted June 6, 2008 I assume it is 2 in succession. If so, then it's simply an alignment issue with the distributor spindle. Not too much to worry about. Just the cost of a dizzy cap, a little more often than is normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisj21 2 Posted June 7, 2008 Yes its one after the other rather than one then miss one then the other. Thats why i asked if it was a fitting error as its seems the dizzy cap is more two one side. oh well as long as its nothing major thats ok. put a new one and all is ok now.

S13Nick 0 Posted June 8, 2008 on my gti engine, i kept going through rotor arms, they were catching on the dizzy cap, i thought it was my driving at first constantly on the redline lol , but i dont see how that could affect it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
