Please help, dead scirocco!

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

it's gonna be a bitch to replace the hall sender only, that pin just don't
like comming out of the shaft... tust me.

Save yourself a headache and replace the distrubuter, have you removed the
cap from the distributer? is the rotor still intact? mine self destructed a
couple weeks ago.

I got my distributer from an out fit in Calgary, Alberta, Canada they are
called Montgomery Auto parts.  Great deal, 195 buck plus tax & shipping and
that's canadian dollars... so that's like 120 USD...

btw I destroyed the distributer trying to remove the afore mentioned
retaining pin...
