1.9 Gti Vacuum Advance

[sharpm 1]

Hi

 

I would post this in the wanted section if I could but I can't as I haven't made 30 posts yet.

 

So al apologies in advance, but has anybody got a new or a good secondhand working Vacum advance unit for 1.9 1989 phase 1.5 ?

 

The part number is p0000591134 but pug don't do them anymore and I've tried everywhere alse too but no luck.

 

Thanks

I got mine from a Bosch dealer a few years ago, if you get no luck locally it was shorts auto electrical in Cardiff, 029 2023 2224.

 

had to be ordered of course.

 

found my post from a few years back with the part number

I seem to recall that an old Ford Fiesta runs the same diaphragm and these are still readily available. I think Graham (Pug-ham) may know what to ask for

FYI;1.6 & 1.9 ones aren't the same.

many will fit fine, but they wont be the correct spec, the length of the arm on them that attaches to the mechanisms inside varies which will alter the advance curve and amount of advance given.

 

you will only find the 1.9 vac advance capsule on a 1.9 psa engine, though on a few different Bosch distributors, they'll all have the same part number, 5951 86 (old part number 95 619 499)

 

Citroen BX with 1.9 engine and distributor 0237 009 607

Citroen BX with 1.9 engine and distributor 0237 009 064

 

205/309 with distributors 0237 009 066 / 086 / 085 / 615 / 618

 

(066 is the most common 1.9 unit I have come across)

 

405 with distributors 0237009 604 / 607 / 613.

 

 

your only chance is a Bosch or lucas stockist with stock, or a good used unit.

So are we saying that if your 1.9 vac advance unit goes belly up, then it is impossible to get a new diaphragm from Peugeot and you have to find a Bosch auto Parts stockist to see if they have any stock?

 

Having a look on the Bosch website it shows ECP as a stockist.

But I am guessing they will want to sell you a fully reconned dizzy, though a quick online search of ECP for a dizzy for a 1989 1900 GTI returns a blank

 

So to summarise, if you vac advance fails, then it is new dizzy time . This can't be right can it?

I wouldn't bother with ECP, they wont order special bits they don't stock, there's plenty of bosh service agents about though which will get the part is there's stock.

 

I used shorts auto electrical in Cardiff recently to get some brake pressure regulators for my ZX, they are very specific to the 16v model having a much higher pressure rating than any other pug by 50%, GSF ECP nor any local motorfactor could help, but 3 days from Bosch in Germany via Shorts and I had my compensators.

 

 

Fit MP3.1, problem solved banish those pesky AFM's and Dizzys!!!!

thanks Welshpug, you are a lifesaver

 

The Bosch part number for the vacum advance unit is 1 237 123 091 as you suggested and I got one through a local motorfactors, £42 + vat.

 

Replacing it has made a massive difference to the idle quality.

 

cheers.

crikey, I'm sure it was £20, that would have been nearly 5 years ago now though
