I seem to have oil in my distributor cap annually in my 16v. I believe it’s the o-ring that goes bad ultimately and it’s difficult to find that replacement, so you have to buy the whole thing (as I believe), is something else causing this?
Also, I just changed my sparked plugs and saw a bit of oil on a spark plug. Might I have something else going on, VC leak?
$35? I'm not saying that part is junk, but that price is too low to be any good. Give us your review after it's installed and if it fixes your problem.
You can go here and find the size with the dimensions they have. They use the industry numbers like 212 and such. Measure and look up the size you need and ask an bearing / o-ring supply house for the number. Or just order it from Mcmaster
The outer O-Ring should also be replaced periodically. Those and the valve cover gaskets should be available from VW parts sources.
If it's not squirting oil into the distributor like you opened an artery, you can wait for a VW or Bosch distributor.
7905205P is the VW part number (from 7zap) but I can't find it online.
I am sending you a PM
