oil pump drive, thats what its for.
#1
So I was looking online to find a distributor block off for my ABA build and came across thisNot willing to pay that much. I also heard that the 3A bubble blocks had them stock. No luck in my search for an OEM one. So this evening I was screwing around with some broken 1.8l distributors and came up with this.

Know I would like to know what the technical name was or is for this and dont say dizzy gizzy cause that is not it. All help would be great also if u have the Audi 3A unit I need it.
The reason for the distributor block off is because I am running 034 Standalone and dont need it or dont want it. Thank you for your help.

I am trying to find the name the Audi Dealer called this. It Originaly came out of a 3A Audi 80/90 2.0L. There was no distributor just this plug which drove the oil pump. So if u know the name post it! I know what it does and that the BBM one is called a Dizzy Gizzy, I also know what engine it comes from and I can swap out the internals. So again if you are familiar with this post if you know what I know look read but dont post anything. Not trying to be a jerk just get results.

well it looks like a block off for the distributor thats driven of the intermediate shaft.I dont know the name but I do know that if your looking to block it off.1.8T aeb engines came with a factory block off plate.that should do the job.the 1.8 block and 2.0 are the same block.I hope this helps.
I would call it a distributor block off plate.I believe I have one at work from a AEB engine.I will try and see if theres a part number on it and ill post it up tomorrow.

For the PL/9A, it is called a sealing cap, pn 068103113B.
For the AEB, same name, pn 058103703.
I could not find anything like them for the 3A.

To clear things up, the 3A had a distributor, not a block-off.
The 3A distributor is sought after for the ABA block/ Counter-flow head hybrid. It fits in the ABA block and is functionally the same as the 1.8L

they never made anything to drive an 8v oil pump, rather than the dizzy or a vacuum pump..
the only ones that were driven by a gear, had a splined shaft, like the 16v engines, the OLD 1.5D w/ manual brakes (no vac pump to drive oil pump) and maybe a few other engines..
never the less tho, that dizzy delete from bahn brenner, VW/Audi never made anything like that factory..
they made a splined oil pump shaft, and the oil pump shaft held the splined gear, and then there was a sealing cap/gear retainer that held all of that in place..
and yes, 3A has an 8v large base, 4 window dizzy in the block, not a sealing cap, splined gear, and splined oil pump shaft.
the DIZZY GIZZY from bahn brenner is their own design, not a copied VW design, because VW never used an 8v oil pump without a dizzy/vac pump to drive it..
they have been using the splined shaft/gear since the early/mid 70s, so idk why they would have changed it..
