G3 Distributor Cap - 1.4-1.6 (Marelli)

This distributor cap is designed specifically for VW petrol engines fitted with a Marelli distributor, commonly found on Mk3 Golf and Polo–based models. It restores a strong, consistent spark by correctly distributing high voltage from the ignition coil to each cylinder, helping cure common issues such as misfires, rough idle, hesitation, poor cold starting and damp-weather running faults.

This cap is not suitable for Bosch distributors. Always confirm the distributor manufacturer before ordering.
