Subject:      bad rotor

Hi Volks,
     Thought some of you might be interested in seeing a rotor that was obviously on an engine upon which tune up items have been
neglected. My 2.1L double cab was still running pretty well, though mileage was dropping off and it would pop loudly out the muffler
on occasion when cold.  You will notice the rotor is about a cm shorter than a good one.  Don't know how many times I have told
fellow vanagon owners to check tune up items and grounds.

ps.   For any new people there is a lot of fuel injection information for both busses and vans or type2   t2 and t3 at

pps.  I am starting an i5 conversion on our 78 westy.  I now have most of the critical parts. I even bought it a new distributor cap
and rotor.
