Bosch P/N for Ignition Rotor?

seventythree · 08-02-2006, 02:37 PM

I have 2 ignition rotors. Bosch P/N 04 038, which I got from Pelican, and Bosch P/N 04 033, which I got from another supplier. Which is the correct part for the 1973-2.0L application?

TIA

Is there a second p/n on them? Go here and then open the 914 parts catalog and go to page 264 to see the Bosch part numbers. You may have to check the part number on your distributor to match it with the proper rotor in the catalog.

The stock rotor was 5800rpm rev-limiting was it not? 04030 aka 1 234 332 207.

04 038

Bosch 1 234 332 215. Rotor with 1k resistor. Used on Vanagons with electronic ignition and special low primary resistance coil.

04 033

Bosch 1 234 332 300. Standard rotor with 5k resistor used on virtual every VW with kettering style (points) ignition. If you have the stock ignition system and originally had the rev-limiting version, this would be the non rev-limiting replacement.
