re: distributor rotor for '91 200q20v (3B 20vt)

[C1J1Miller@aol.com]

Background:  the distributor rotor on the '91 200q20vt is not available as a
separate part from Audi; they'd be glad to sell you a new distributor, though.
Audi part departments often try to sell you the rotor off a 10-valve turbo;
however, the tip is about 1/2 again as wide as the correct 20vt rotor.  The
new distributors for the 20vt come with the correct (more narrow) rotor.
Using the wrong rotor (especially) on chipped/modded cars, may have caused
some engine failures.

At my request, Rod at thepartsconnection.com has contacted Bosch in Germany to
try to source these rotors (starting in November... took a while and a good
bit of effort on his part).  
Here's his message to me:
----------------------
I've finally gotten the info out of Bosch in Germany. They will cost 
$18.00 each (yikes!!). The list price is $29.85.

If you are still interested in this rotor, please respond to this 
e-mail and let me know how many you want as this has to be special 
ordered and may take two to three months, depending on Bosch's 
schedule.

Thanks again and sorry for the delay,

Rod

Keep in mind that Rod will likely only make a couple $ max each on these; I
know it's taken him a bunch of attempts to even identify a source.  Last fall
about a dozen people expressed interest; if you still want one (or two, or...)
then email Rod directly with the request.  Thanks,
