The hall sender is available seperately:
'85 down: VW part #: 035 998 065
'86 up: VW part #: 052 998 065
If you have an '86 & up, spend the extra $25 and get the rebuilt Bosch
distributor. It's actually a brand new Bosch distributor sold as rebuilt
(Bosch does this a lot).
ETKA actually does show the hall sender kit in the picture, but it does not
list the part number.
Cheers,
Jeff

Sure you can. Check my website, as it lists the Bosch Numbers for the
replacement Hall Sender (or Pickup Coil as some others call it). Up thru
1984, it comes as a kit with the Sender, Cut-out Rotor and a few other
hardware related parts. For the the 85-91 models, Bosch only supplies the
Hall Sender itself, nothing else.
85-91 Trivia note: Bosch nor Volkswagen in their catalogs, microfiche, ETKA
shows a replacement Hall Sender, they make you buy a whole new distributor -
this can get expensive! It was after digging around in various Bosch
sspecification databases I had access to that I found what the Hall Sender
Bosch number was. This has saved a lot of people $$$ when having to replace
just this item instead of the distributor over the years.
