Correct distributor for 2.1 DJ

[jimrat]

Hi

I need a new dizzy for my van: a 1990 2.1 DJ. The dizzy fitted is Bosch 0237 022 053 / VW 025 905 205N.

If I search on the VW part number, nothing comes up. I can only find VW 025 905 205AF. Anyone know what the difference is between the N and AF variants? The AF seems to be for the DG engine, but several websites seem to list it as suitable for a DJ (e.g. CoolAir, JK).

To confuse matters further, Brickwerks states that the DJ should have Bosch 0237 022 054. So does that mean it's been swapped over at some point?

Got it!

Old post from Aiden: '205 N is DJ dizzy up to 1991, replaced by 205AF'

Def needs to be for 2.1 DJ. Quite different...
