I'm in the same boat. I'd like a 205T. |

Did you search the Classified section of this site?
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1935869
The other option is to look at the remanufactured sources. This may not be as good as OEM distributors, but may be good enough.

At least this one comes w/ a lifetime warranty... for whatever that means. _________________ AshMan40

Buy a used one with the same part number from the classified. _________________ Glenn

That's the plan Glenn... |
Even if there's a problem with it you can salvage the needed part and put it in yours.
The 205K is a very simple distributor and only has a handful of parts. _________________ Glenn

The typical 113 series SVA distributor has more than 26 individual pieces to it. while an 010 has roughly double that, neither one is really all that simple. I've rebuilt a truckload of 113 905 205 K and T's in the last 13 years or so. I have over 100 cores, they are actually pretty common distributors.
113 905 205 M and T distributor cores in front and 113 905 205 K cores at the back. _________________ Roads Scholar &

I've got a 205 T distributor which I'd sell for $35. It's pretty clean. Let me know if you'd like pictures. |
