WELL WHAT CAN I SAY I've finally fixed the problem and feel a little silly and very annoyed. After getting hold of a new dizzy, still did not work, same symptoms, fortunately the guy i bought the dizzy off also had a 2 l Aircooled so i asked to check out is wiring, found out my book is wrong grrr, i...

they have 55 branches but the nearest one to you is accrington

they have a part listed as
13317 FAN BELT-10x1000 so i'd guess 1metre?

is the LT lead plugged into the cap firmly? I am not familiar with the Aircooled but did that version have old fashioned points? its got electronic ignition, will check leads again, i;m wondering if its spark is exactly when the rotor arm is not in contact with the cap due to the hall sender wires ...

only other thing is the ignition module which i replaced is off a golf i think, but its got the same part number except /1 on the end??

last time it was running was last year, since then i've had the engine in bits after putting a new cylinder head on. I have been testing the electronic ignition module by earthing the green/white wire and then un earthing it , coil voltage changes from 12v to 6v showing electronic ignition is switch...

Can someone please post the wire colours and order that they go into the hall sender socket on the side of their distributor.
I'm wondering if the order is correct.
Thanks.

UPDATE /Tested coil HT lead with a plug and it does spark Still no sparks at any plugs even though i've replaced the rotor arm and distributor cap. Really annoying me now! Could it be the spark from the coil is not strong enough to make contact inside the distributor cap? Could it be the engine eart...

sorry, i mis read your post, the idle stabiliser unit is disconnected and the two plugs have been joined together already, i thought you meant try again with the idle stabiliser unit engaged.

Have you swapped the rotor for another? No - for the sake of a few quid i;m going to buy a new rotor and cap in the morning Have you plugged the 2 connectors back together from the idle stabiliser? No - will try it though in the morning thanks for a quick check you can put a plug in the coil lead.. ...

Hi Thanks for the reply I've disconnected the idle stabiliser already, the cap and arm were new last year about 3000 miles ago. Does anyone know if you can test if the hall sender has gone? I would like to attach a spark plug to the coil HT lead but my book says i should not, don't know if there is ...

Hi I'm having trouble getting my 1980 2 Litre CU camper going. I've replaced the Ignition Unit and tested the new unit to be good and confirmed the old unit to be bad. I've tested using two coils which i believe are both good. I have 12v at the coil terminals. I used to get an intermittent weak spar...
