Although VW does not superseded the 83.5-84 to the 85 I see no reason why they would not be interchangeable. Some rather minor parts are different (internally), but they're essentially the same beast. The 03 010 and 03 212 distributor caps are swappable depending on the ignition wires being used. Check my links below for further info. Sorry, don't have a spare to let go at the moment, but I'll check around. http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ignition.htm#V8384 http://www.oldvolkshome.com/ignition.htm#V1985 -- Jim Thompson 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com ********************************** On 6/2/06, levi hawkins <b1levi@yahoo.com> wrote: > > distributor on my 85 1.9 is sick, so I'm looking for a replacement off a > parts van, but I notice there's 025-905-205 D for the 1984 and ...205 K for > the 1985... > Are these interchangeable ???? > and, when looking at the distributor where would I find these numbers > anyway? > btw.....anybody have one (for an 85) that they want to sell me? : ) > peace > Levi |
