just done a quick service on my 1300 p plate felicia.

swapped the dizzy cap, but the new one isn't labelled which lead goes where :thumbdwn:

i'm used to seeing a number stamp next to each branch.

i've put them back how i thought they were right, but yeah you guessed. she doesn't start. :(

anyone got a picture or can explain which way they go?

i think i've put them to fire 1,3,4,2. don't remember where the start position was though.

also does the rotor arm just pull off? i tugged it for a while then gave up for fear of breaking something.

any help please?

There is a notch/line on the edge of distributor (remove cap first to see) and a line on tip of rotor arm when these line up no 1 cylinder is on its compression sroke at TDC. the caps no 1 lead will be in this position move round clockwise in the order 1342

phew. thank you mate.

was starting to get worried, but that's spot on now

any info on rotor arm removal?

The rotor arm usually comes off with a firm hand and a bit of a wiggle, within reason!

any info on rotor arm removal?

Haynes manual says it doesn't come off and that if an attempt is made it will probably break. - Not tried myself.

Oops, sorry about the duff info, just re-checked myself and it says it is bonded to the distributor shaft and you should refer to a skoda dealer for advice. Probably best to clean it up in-situ.

ok cheers guys.

i'll leave that one for now.

i was pulling quite hard without it moving, lol
