Tom,

You should probably double check that.  The 035 998 065 Hall Sender is for
'85 & older Vanagons with vacuum advance.  The '86 & later Vanagons do not
have vacuum advance, it's controlled electronically.

The correct part number is 052 998 065 (Bosch #: 1 237 010 027).

Cheers,

Jeff

According to ETKA the "Hall Sender and all mounting parts" is VW number 035
998 065.  Bus Depot lists it as "Impulse Sender" for $98.75.

Hi all..

I have a 1986 2.1 WBX westy camper and am trying to figure out how to get a
specific distributor part.  In the Bentley manual it is labeled as the Hall
Generator.   The electrical plug on mine is pretty cracked up and the wires
are in bad shape.  I don't want to buy an entire distributor if I can avoid
it.  I called Bus Depot and they can't find it without the part number, I
called VW and they have a picture of the part but no part number either.

Any ideas on how to approach this?

Thanks,
Jason
