distributor cap and rotor

[Michael Jue <mnjue@earthlink.net>]

John, Dan, & Paul:

Like Dan, I have a new rotor in my hand that looks like the one that's
on there now.  I'm pretty sure it's the right part.  I called somebody
at the parts dept. at the dealer and she said that it looks like you do
have to replace the whole distributor on the 20 valve, but she wasn't
sure and the audi mechanic had gone home for the day.  Sure seems stupid
that you have to replace the entire distributor.  I got the new rotor
from Europarts, and I think they know what they're doing.  I don't want
to split the old rotor in half if I can't put the new one on.  Any other
thoughts or recollections on this matter?
