Re: Ignition Rotor

[Michael Brittain Crowell <Britt@FortCollins.com>]

Just recently went through the same thing with my 87 5000CSTQ. The rotor
that AutoZone Gave me ( I got the right spark plugs though)  didnt fit.
Went back and took a look at some of the other "Audi" rotors. The one
that was different that seemed to match was for the Wagon. Why? I dont
know, thought they were the same engine. So anyways try that or just go
to the Audi shop!

Subject: Ignition Rotor

I have an 84 Audi 5000 Turbo with a FWD slushbox.  I been trying to buy
a distributor ignition
rotor by giving the year, model, etc for information and everyone gives
me the wrong rotor.  I can
solve that problem next week by using the Bosch number on my existing
rotor but I am wondering
since I bought the car used if someone changed something.  My existing
rotor is part number 1234 33
2374 and the distributor has a small diameter shaft compared to the
rotor they try to sell me which
is 1234 33 2301 which has a larger diameter hole.
Do you think someone changed the distributor in the past or are there
multiple distributor
versions? Euro version?

Thanks in advance,

Hey, What did they call the Audi that fell off the bridge crossing the
river?
