If you're experiencing issues with your Volkswagen Golf MK1 distributor, you might notice the vehicle running roughly. The distributor is responsible for transmitting power signals from the ECU to your spark plugs, igniting the fuel and air mixture in the cylinder. When there's a problem with the distributor, you may notice misfires. Start by checking that all the wires are securely connected to the distributor. A loose wire can prevent the spark plugs from firing. If that's not the issue, there could be a problem with the internal wiring of the distributor, requiring a complete replacement.
