My car is our only form of transport. Is there any way of determining the part number of the DIS pack apart from taking it off the car?  Where is the part number located? Can it be seen with mirrors or do you need gollum?  The pack on my car sits horizontally approx a  thousand miles down the back of the engine. I would have to then put it back on again until the part turned up in the post.

It is a Nov 97 2.5 petrol.

There are three part numbers listed for a 2.5

90444184 (Early Models) £100 Retail - £90 Trade - £75 TradeClub
90511450 (Interim Models) £113.33 Retail - £102 Trade - £85 TradeClub
90541062 (Later Models) £126.67 Retail - £114.50 Trade - £95 TradeClub

If you have your engine/chassis number your Vx dealer should be able to provide you with the correct unit.

Well its not the early one because its horizontal.......

.....if it has a Metal oil filter then it might be the interim one.....its the connector shape that changed on the later ones.

[Varche]

The oil filter is metal and sticks out horizontally on the RH side of the engine looking at the front of the car. Out of interest what other type of oil filter can you have apart from "Metal"! Were there canister types and a paper filter in a metal holder types? Mine looks like a canister but I had the oil changed and filters done at a Masterfit over here in January and can't tell.

I am going to ask my brother to ask a dealer in the UK.

There is the standard tin affair and a paper insert one which goes in a diecast metal housing.

Do you know what shape the crank sensor connector is (square or rounded) or even the throttle pot one?

[Varche]

I can't see the sensor end but where it joins the right hand side of the throttle housing it is rectangular and held in place with a torx screw top and bottom. The connector is rectangular

the wiring  goes into the wiring harness just under the idle control valve on the R/H side of engine as you look at it from the front fof the car.

Help!! Have tried and failed due to the language barrier here in Spain to sort out the part number for the right DIS pack. I have my chassis number W0L0VBP69W1047450 and the engine number is 08226271.

Can anyone PM me or reply with which of the three numbers it actually is and then I can get one mailed over from somewhere like MegaVaux??

(a fairly desperate) olive.

I am 95% sure it is this one:

which I think is 90544150

Yikes! The last three numbers on the Bosch DIS pack (so I am told) are either 010 or 170.

Does anyone know what the differences are in appearance, so a camera on a stick might be able to grab a picture of it?  I don't want to post the wrong one over.

Oh dear, just remembered, the camera died.

It'd be safer and cheaper (postage wise) to remove your old DIS & take a note of the Bosch number to be certain of getting the correct pack. It's not difficult - just awkward - to remove.

[Brother of Olive]

This was suggested to Olive but the turn around will be over ten days possibly more and Olive needs the car in the mean time.

The last three were 010 & 017, not as previous.

[Marks DTM Calib]

If he has a square plug and given the age it will be an 010...the 017 has a rounded plug and the earlier uni is mounted verticaly (and was fitted upto approx 96).

The best thing he can do is confirm if the DIS pack is vertical or horzontal

[Varche]

It is [/b]Horizontal[/b]

[Marks DTM Calib]

Plus the rectangular connectors on the wiring loom means its an 010....

Thanks folks.
