Re: Not so much a rebuild

Thank's for this, I'll hunt down the headlight upgrade.

Distributor

My Car: Mk2 1992 Scirocco 1781cc

The problem is that the distributor has been replaced twice with GFS and Europarts chinese manufactured stuff. This is the last bit of the puzzle that leaves the car with a lack of power between 1000 and 1500 revs, this gives a kangaroo judder. I'm not using any ...
