looking for a new dizzy ive read in a  couple of posts that a 6n does any one have a specifc modle of 6n that i could get a new gsf one from as there reasonably priced, other than that my only alternative is vag and i think there something like £180  :o

Pretty sure any 8v 6n one is the same.

I thought it had to be from an 8v MPI 6n, as the SPI ones use different trigger wheels?

I got one from a mk3 polo, m reg, would that be fine to use? It looks the same as the g40 one.

hayesey

No, you need a gt/g40 one or a 6n one (possibly mpi only, I'm not sure). Normal mk3 one has a different hall sender trigger wheel

If you have a working SPI dizzy spare and a G40 dizzy with knackered hall sender, you could make a frankendizzy with a GT/G40 trigger wheel and SPI shell & hall sender. Half man, half monster.

Which engine codes have mpi in the 6n, the aex ??

hayesey

AEX does, that's the 1.4 8v.  No idea what the other codes are.

So if I get a dizzy from gsf for an aex it will bolt straight on and does the same job as the gt/g40 one ?

hayesey

yeah although not sure it'd be any cheaper than going in and buying a brand new G40 dizzy, people normally use the 6n ones because they are easy to find in scrapyards.

the correct 6N dizzy has the code AB at the end, the full part number is on Clubpolo on the faq thread ' does your GT have the right dizzy '

The AEE & AEA has the right dizzy from memory, unless the two engines we got had different dizzys from standard fitted

dub-disaster

thanks for that link to the club polo faq that realy helped got the one i want now :) opn a side note coils are the ones for g40 6 or 3 pin on etka it says that 6 pin is for ;hz,nz,2g,acm engine codes where as the part number for the py and 3f is 6N0 905 104 which im aussuming by the start of the part number is just the coil and amp module from a 6n ?? ive found a few of these on ebay circa £20 are these crap should i be loocking for bosch parts like from gsf ??

hayesey

6n coil is the same part for G40, the old mk3 coil was superseded by the 6n one.  The 6 pin one is different and not for a g40, it's only for the engine codes you list.
