009 Rotor Arm (Also Most VAG Models From 1968 Onwards) - BERU

This premium BERU rotor arm is designed to fit Bosch and reproduction 009 mechanical advance distributors, along with a wide range of VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) distributors from the late 1960s through to the early 1990s. Suitable for 65mm diameter distributors, this high-quality component delivers dependable ignition performance for both aircooled and early watercooled VW models.

As a key part of the ignition system, the rotor arm spins with the distributor shaft and transfers high-voltage current from the ignition coil to the correct terminal inside the distributor cap. This ensures each cylinder receives a spark at precisely the right time. A worn or low-quality rotor can cause misfires, rough running, poor starting, or intermittent ignition faults.

Manufactured by BERU, an OEM supplier known for ignition system quality, this rotor offers superior conductivity, precise fitment, and long service life. It is ideal for routine servicing or as part of a full ignition overhaul when paired with a distributor cap, ignition leads, and spark plugs.

This rotor is designed for distributors without a built-in rev limiter and is not compatible with certain 10mm spindle distributors (commonly found on some T25 models), so checking compatibility is essential before installation.
