16v: how do i keep oil from flooding the distributor?

[SequoiaGLX at twcny.rr.com (SequoiaGLX@twcny.rr.com)]

Personally I think VW's problems have been because
they outsource from SOO MANY suppliers.  It has to
be hard to keep a handle on QC on parts from so many
places.  Inevitably you get a bad part here and
there, i.e. window regulator, MAF, coil packs.

Plastic impellers probably work just fine on a piece
of paper or computer screen....
