How to identify distributor and find a replacement

[ss2001]

Running a 1989 Westfalia California with 2.1 petrol unit. A recent breakdown and subsequent inspection by RAC and local garage has resulted in the need for a new distributor. Obviously it is electronic ignition but I cannot seem to find a replacement on the interweb anywhere, am I looking for the wrong thing can anyone recommend a supplier?

There seems to be plenty of Bosch 009 or replica's around for the T25 but these are for the older engines aren't they?

what engine code ?
Used disis are to be found, and disis are serviceable unless bent , what's up with it ? Hall senders are on brickwerks webshop as are vac units if DJ
New disi still available from various obscure sources maybe here definately in Germany

Thanks for your post Aidan.

I have only had the van just over a month so still finding my way a little, where can I find my engine code?

The cables / plastic housing is broken at the bottom of the disty, I think this is part of the Hall Sender you refer to?

Your dizzie should have a part number stamped into the metal on the side.

?

it's stamped on the engine underneath the black crank breather tower.

or simply if the disi has a two pipe vacuum advance unit then it's a DJ, no vac unit it's an MV or SS, assuming it is a 2.1 with fuel injection

Thanks Guys

Enginee Code is SS (2.1 with fuel injection as mentioned).

Part Numbers on the existing Disty are:

0237 520 007 (Bosch Part number I think)

025 905 205M (Not sure what this is)

bottom one is the VW part No

[Aidan]

same as MV, disi is stripped from the bottom rather than from the top as with the TCI ones, I think Brickwerks sell the hall sender unit for it and the full repair kit for the hall sender http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/shop?page=s ... yword=hall

I have a spare used disi at lockup in a engine if you need to get mobile while fixing yours

The repair kit looks like the plan, looks like brickwerks are gonna get another order from me then!
