16v dizzy cap

Post by RoccoGuy »

just fitted a kr to my rocco but the original dizzy cap fouls the the brake master cylinder, it will fit but i can't put the ignition lead from the coil to the dizzy cap. i think i remember some one saying that the dizzy cap from a mk3 golf solves this but can any body confirm this? if this is true which model mk3 is it from, i'm guessing the 2.0 16v GTI?

get one from GSF for cheaper. You need the 16v ABF cap. Turns at right angle.
