Standard exchange sale: BOSCH Igniter 0237009066 for Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 130 HP. The igniter is delivered complete, including its vacuum capsule 1237123091 and impulse sensor.

When ordering this standard exchange, please send us by mailyour complete igniter of the same reference as the one ordered along with a copy of your order confirmation. Make sure to send it with the appropriate capsule and the wire with the impulse sensor.

Attention: if you send us an incomplete igniter and/or, for example, the wrong capsule, we will not return an incomplete igniter / with the wrong capsule. Capsules are not sold separately, only through standard exchange.

To identify the BOSCH capsule suitable for the igniter 0237009066, check the last 4 digits on the capsule stem, which should be: 3091 (you need to remove the capsule from the igniter by pulling it and sliding it from the igniter head). For this igniter 0237009066, the 3091 capsule is the only BOSCH compatible reference.

WARNING: IF THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT MET, YOUR ORDER WILL BE CANCELED, AND €70.00 EXCLUDING VAT WILL BE CHARGED.

Adaptation

This model is suitable only for Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 L with 130 HP

Installation

We recommend installation by a professional mechanic.

Turnaround Time

The exchange turnaround time, once the part is received, is 3 business days.

Warranty

2 years of legal warranty for conformity and hidden defects.

Symptoms of a Failing Igniter

A worn igniter causes ignition cuts (while driving), noticeable by the tachometer fluttering, related to the ignition impulses. In particular, when the diaphragm inside the vacuum capsule is torn, the air intake causes a delay in ignition and leads to increased fuel consumption.

What is an Ignition Distributor or Igniter?

The ignition distributor on a Peugeot 205 GTI, as on many internal combustion engine vehicles equipped with distributor ignition systems, plays a crucial role in the engine’s proper operation. Here’s how it works and what its function is:

Main Function of the Ignition Distributor
The ignition distributor's role is to distribute the high voltage current generated by the ignition coil to the various spark plugs according to the engine's firing order. This allows for an ignition spark in each cylinder at the correct moment, synchronized with the engine cycle (intake, compression, combustion, exhaust).

How the Ignition Distributor Works on a 205 GTI:
Connection with the Ignition Coil:

The distributor is connected to the ignition coil, which generates a high voltage current (up to several thousand volts). This current is routed to the center of the distributor via a central spark plug wire.
Rotor and Distributor Cap:

Inside the distributor, there is a rotor that rotates in synchronization with the engine’s crankshaft. This rotor is driven by a shaft connected to the camshaft.
The distributor cap contains several metal contacts (one for each cylinder). These contacts are connected to spark plug wires leading to the respective spark plugs in each cylinder.
Current Distribution:

With each rotation of the rotor, it passes near the metal contacts of the cap, thus closing the circuit to allow the high voltage current to be sent to the corresponding spark plug. The resulting spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder at the precise moment needed, according to the engine phase.
Synchronization with the Engine:

The distributor is synchronized with the engine cycle so that ignition occurs exactly at the right time for each cylinder, based on the engine's firing order. For the 205 GTI, a four-cylinder engine, the firing order is generally 1-3-4-2.
Ignition Timing:

The distributor also often features an ignition timing advance system (mechanical or vacuum), which adjusts the timing of the spark based on the engine’s operating conditions (e.g., engine speed). This helps to improve performance, fuel efficiency, and prevent issues like engine knocking.
General Operation on a 205 GTI:
On a Peugeot 205 GTI, the distributor is a key part of the classic ignition system. It ensures that each cylinder receives the necessary spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the exact moment needed to maximize engine power and efficiency. A poorly adjusted or defective distributor can lead to misfires, power loss, or even starting problems.

Conclusion:
The ignition distributor is responsible for correctly distributing the electrical current between the engine's spark plugs, according to the engine cycle. It is an essential component for ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the internal combustion engine in the 205 GTI.
