[200q20v] Distributors

[Mike O'Donnell]

All this talk of Hall Sensors makes me want to confirm I need to replace my distributor.  It's my understanding that they are a relatively disposable item on the 3B engine.  The current distributor has 80K on it and I'm getting a lot of engine chatter when I start the beast up in the morning which I think is attributed to wear on the plastic gear mechanism.  If one of the gears breaks, will any damage occur to the engine?  Does BOSCH make one with a metal gear or the part designed to wear out for a reason?  Many thanks!
