Quantity per package: 1 piece<\/p>\n<h5>Additional information<\/h5>\n<p>1. <strong>This distributor cap has been specially modified.<\/strong> to improve ventilation and provide extra protection to the interior against moisture-related ignition problems.<br \/>\n2. The special coating was applied to the inside and subsequently baked in an oven.<br \/>\n3. When replacing, also check the <strong>rotor, spark plug cables and other ignition components<\/strong> on wear, corrosion and damage.<br \/>\n4. Check the existing distributor cap for hairline cracks, moisture, burnt contact material, and signs of high-voltage flashover.<br \/>\n5. Also check the seals and ventilation of the distributor housing. Moisture and contamination can cause ignition problems to recur.<br \/>\n6. This concerns <strong>old, unused stock<\/strong>. Any minor signs of storage do not affect suitability, provided the part is undamaged.<br \/>\n7. <strong>If there is excessive oil buildup on the inside of the distributor cap, the rotor shaft seal must be replaced.<\/strong> A leaking oil seal can cause engine oil to enter the distributor housing and trigger ignition failures. This oil seal is also available in our webshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stolkcarparts.com\/product\/keerring-as-van-de-rotor-nokkenas-mercedes-m103-m104-m119-m120\/\">Rotor shaft oil seal \u2013 Mercedes M103 M104 M119 M120<\/a>.<br \/>\n8. Ensure that all connections are clean and dry and that the spark plug cables are mounted on the correct connections.<br \/>\n9. After assembly, check that the engine runs smoothly and that there are no ignition malfunctions.<br \/>\n10. The modifications are intended to improve reliability, but cannot prevent all moisture-related ignition problems.<br \/>\n11.
