The average cost of a VW Thing distributor cap is between $28.99 and $28.99.
VW Thing distributor cap is a component of the ignition system of the Volkswagen Type 181, commonly referred to as the VW Thing. The cap serves to cover and safeguard the internal components of the distributor, which has the role of distributing high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, igniting them in the correct order. This makes the cylinders in the engine fire at the right time, maximizing engine efficiency and performance.
The cap typically has terminals which receive the spark plug wires, guiding electrical current needed to fire the air-fuel mixture in every cylinder.
