Keep your ignition system running strong with a condenser that protects your points and ensures long service life.

This Bosch condenser suppresses sparking across the contact points as they open and close, limiting erosion and extending performance.

Because Details Matter
Ignition reliability is the difference between a smooth drive and a roadside stall. This condenser keeps your points cool and effective, safeguarding every spark your VW depends on. Correct fit and Bosch quality mean peace of mind for the collector who values originality and performance, ensuring your vintage Volkswagen starts, runs, and stays authentic.

Tech Note: Due to the interchangeability of Air Cooled VW Distributors throughout the entire 37 year VW range, for ordering purposes we must rely on the distributor number and not the year of the car. Years are listed as a reference point only. The ten digit number is often on the back of the distributor and can only be read by removing the distributor from the engine.
