The average price of a VW Bus distributor cap is between $28.99 and $46.99.
VW Bus distributor cap is an essential part of the vehicle's ignition system. It functions to direct the high voltage from the ignition coil to the respective engine cylinder. It does this by way of a rotor internal to the distributor that spins and makes contact with designated points on the cap, directing the electrical charge to the respective spark plug through the ignition wires. This cycle is important in ensuring that the engine fires at the correct time, hence optimal operation and performance.
