Subject:88 Wolfsberg Distributor
From:Bassim Dowidar
Date:Thu, 5 Jul 2001 10:59:01 -0700

Me again. Posted the message about the van stalling
intermittently two days ago. To repeat - it would just
go out like a switch was turned - then wouldn't start
for a couple of hours - then it would start and run
fine until it died again.
Anyway - finally got it into the shop (Dealer). They
were able to reproduce the problem (thank God) and
diagnosed it as a faulty Distributor, for which they
want $450!!! plus an hour labor. That, in addition to
a faulty passenger window switch brings my grand total
for diagnosis, parts and labor to just under $1000.

My question is - can I get this distributor cheaper?
can I put it in myself? (I've got tools and basic
KnowHow, but have never done this before). Help!

Bassim
