5ktq code 2113...

[Peter Berrevoets]

The dealer will sell you the whole distributor - nothing less.

Take the distributor out, knock out the pin in the gear at the bottom,
remove gear and rotor shaft, remove hall sender.

Take the hall sender and gear with you to your local flaps/bosch dealer and
get a new hall sender, also pick uo a split/cleavis pin to replace the pin
knocked out of the gear. I couldn't find one the exact length, so I had to
cut one down. Working fine after two years.

Part number is nowhere to be found around here at the moment, but it is a
common bosch part (cheap too)

Cheers!
