Distributor Rotor for Volkswagen, Audi, Saab, and More

Standard Ignition GB-345 is a distributor rotor built for ignition systems that use a push-on mount and brass contact material. It is a red, plastic rotor designed for direct replacement in a wide range of Volkswagen, Audi, Saab, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Hyundai applications.

Compatible With 1985-2009 Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Cabrio, EuroVan, Passat, Cabriolet, Fox, Corrado, and Vanagon applications, plus select Audi, Saab, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Hyundai models. This part cross-references Bosch-style applications such as EP765 and RB947 for the same use cases.

  • Standard Ignition GB-345 distributor rotor
  • Push-on mount type for straightforward distributor installation
  • Brass contact material for consistent rotor-to-cap transfer
  • Plastic rotor body with red finish
  • Direct replacement for many import ignition distributor applications

Detailed Product Overview

The GB-345 distributor rotor transfers ignition voltage from the distributor shaft to the correct terminal in the distributor cap. Its brass contact material and push-on design make it a practical replacement choice for older import ignition systems, including Volkswagen Jetta and Golf models, as well as Saab 900 and Audi 80 applications. The Standard Ignition GB-345 is also listed across multiple interchange numbers, including EP765 and RB947, which helps when matching an existing rotor to the correct replacement part.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Engine misfire caused by worn rotor contact surfaces
  • Hard starting related to weak or inconsistent spark transfer
  • Rough idle from ignition timing or spark distribution issues
  • Distributor cap arcing from a damaged or deteriorated rotor
  • Intermittent ignition performance in Bosch and similar distributor setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify distributor style before ordering, since fitment includes standard distributors, Bosch distributors, and select high-energy ignition distributor applications. Confirm vehicle year, make, model, engine, and distributor number against the fitment list before installation. The rotor uses a push-on mount and does not include mounting hardware.
