Keeping ignition parts clean is vital

A guy who uses an elderly VW for his building business told me that after about 30km the engine would lose power and occasionally die. He said that in wet weather the occurrence was guaranteed.

The normal procedure following the stoppage was to wait a few minutes after which the engine could be restarted. These are common symptoms when a coil plays up.

There was no shortage of fuel and fuel delivery proved to be okay, so it looked like an ignition problem. The engine had obviously not been well maintained and the HT leads, distributor cap and plugs all had a coating of oil and dirt.

I started by cleaning the distributor cap and renewed the HT leads and plugs. The plugs, incidentally, had extra-wide gaps, which does not help achieve a good spark. The coil looked as it had been in the wars anyway and I recommended fitting a new one. As for the brakes, steering, etc, work was clearly needed.
