So it's been raining here in Rhode Island. A lot. My 92 GLI has started to
not start in the rain. Replaced the distributor cap and rotor (is was about
due), but to no effect. Coil tested fine, car got gas, turned out to be a
short in a spark plug wire (i.e. cut in the insulation, arching). The plug
wires on right now are the 7mm OEM Bosch wires, which I'm not a big fan of,
since I think that the rubber insulation is a little stiff, and seems to
crack every so often. I was going to go with the 8mm Eurosport wires that
parts4vws.com offers. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm not
looking for eye candy, just a good product.
Also, do folks usually reuse the impulse sender, or buy a new one? My last
two 16vs were 1.8L CIS-Es, so I didn't have to worry about this. The
current one *looks* in good shape, so I was just going to reuse it.
Any thoughts?
Andrew
