Re: Scirocco Saved (87 16v -no sunroof,cls,pw),

You can replace the seal and fix the leak.There is a
tech page i found by searching "16v distributer" its
not too bad, but have a vise,a drift and be real
carefull when you remove the cover above the seal.I
dont know a source for hall senders but id bet if you
stopped the leak and cleaned the sender it would work.
