Detailed Product Description

This distributor cap, part number GB-449, is specifically designed to fit a range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles such as the Audi 80, 90, 100, 200, 4000, 5000, Coupe, EuroVan, Quantum, and their respective Quattro versions. The cap features six female terminals for distributor connections and five female terminals for spark plug wires, accommodating the ignition system requirements of these models. The clip mount type allows for straightforward installation and secure fitment without the need for screws or gaskets. The absence of a distributor vent reduces potential contamination points, while the red color aids in quick visual identification during maintenance.
