About BMW 318i Distributor

BMW 318i was introduced in 1989. As swift as the previous generations, but with far more luxury, improved handling, and added safety, capability, and capacity, the BMW 318i is a solid luxury sport sedan. The brand appeals to drivers with great parts such as a distributor. BMW 318i distributor is an important component of the car when it comes to the mechanical ignition system. BMW 318i distributor involves a rotating arm in the inner part of the distributor cap and above the distributor shaft. Usually, the metal part of the rotor comes into contact with high-voltage cables through a carbon brush. With the high voltage generated from the ignition coil, an electric current can jump the small gaps between the rotors.
Whereas, BMW 318i's worn distributor parts need to be repaired or replaced for better performance. BMW 318i distributor is used to distribute the high voltage. The voltage is made to the ignition coil which then sends the spark to the spark plugs in the engine's proper firing order. The removal process for BMW 318i distributor is as follows. Remove the retaining clips holding the distributor cap in place first. Then, remove the cap and mark the position of the rotor. Next, remove all ignition wires and label if necessary, the vacuum lines and the bolt locking the distributor in place. Finally, pull the BMW 318i's distributor parts straight out and remove the O-ring. Our large assortment covers lots of classic vehicles.
