Distributor cap wiring 1987 audi 5000 2.3l where is #1

Bosch distributors have a very slight notch on the edge of the distributor to show #1

place cylinder 1 end of compression ,timing mark to 0 then remove distributor cap and the rotor should point to number 1 cylinder wire and you go firing order the way the rotor turning

the firing order is 1-3-4-2 with #1at the end of the motor were the pulleys are.usually on the distributor cap #1 is marked and i think the distributor rotates clockwise.if you pull the cap and crank the motor over you can see the direction of rotation.then insert the wires accordingly to the order on the cap.

Remove sparkplugs. Turn the engine by hand/wrench so that number 1 cylinder(closest to the radiator is on the compression stroke at top dead centre(TDC) Do this by closing the plug hole on number 1 cylinder by hand and feeling for pressure as the engingine is rotated. When you feel pressure that is the compression stroke. Now rotate the engine until the mark on the crankshaft damper pulley lines up with the 0 mark on the cambelt cover.


Remove the distributor cap and note where the rotor arm is pointed. That would be the Plug wire number 1 position. Distributor rotation is clockwise so starting from this position connect the plug wires clockwise to cylinders 1-3-4-2. In the diagram the distributor cap is shown as you would see it when looking at the top of the cap(looking from the left side of the engine)


If the distributor was removed then fit the distributor cap. Make a mark on the distributor body correpondinding to where the plug wire 1 would connect to.

Remove the cap and extend the mark to the lip of the distributor so that it would be visible once the ditributor is fitted. Refit the distributor so that once the distributor is fully seated the rotor points to this mark. Note that the rotor will turn as the distributor is being inserted so this may take more than one try to get the mark matched to the rotor. Also check that once seated the holddown bolt hole is more or less in the middle of the slot in the distributor or you may not be able to adjust timing. Adjustment of the ignition timing should be done with the engine at operating temperature. The idle speed should be correct and if you are at high altitude(above 3900 feet/1300 metres) the electrical connection to the boost sensor on the fender must be disconnected. Also disconnect the the vacuum pipe with the white stripes(if fitted) from the vacuum advance mechanism and plug the pipe.

there are several engines--please pick yours.

Hope this help.

If you have the one I'm thinking of, it is just to the left of the main power terminal on the cap (usually marked tach)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the primary lead from the terminal post at the side of the distributor.

The wire connector will contain a special conductive grease. Do not remove it. The same grease will also be found on the metal parts of the rotor.

1. Disconnect the vacuum line if there is one.
2. Remove the two distributor cap retaining hooks or screws and remove the distributor cap.
3. Note the position of the rotor in relation to the base. Scribe a mark on the base of the distributor and on the engine block to facilitate reinstallation. Align the marks with the direction the metal tip of the rotor is pointing.
4. Remove the bolt that holds the distributor to the engine.
5. Lift the distributor assembly from the engine.

To install, if engine was not disturbed:

1. Insert the distributor shaft and assembly into the engine. Line up the mark on the distributor and the one on the engine with the metal tip of the rotor. Make sure that the vacuum advance diaphragm is pointed in the same direction as it was pointed originally. This will be done automatically if the marks on the engine and the distributor are line up with the rotor.
2. Install the distributor hold-down bolt and clamp. Leave the screw loose enough so that you can move the distributor with heavy hand pressure.
3. Connect the primary wire to the distributor side of the coil. Install the distributor cap on the distributor housing. Secure the distributor cap with the spring clips or the screw type retainers, whichever is used.
4. Install the spark plug wires. Make sure that the wires are pressed all of the way into the top of the distributor cap and firmly onto the spark plugs.

If the engine was turned while the distributor was removed, or if the marks were not drawn, it will be necessary to initially time the engine. Follow the procedure below.
To install, if engine was disturbed:

1. Rotate the engine until the No.1 piston is at TDC compression.
2. Using a flat bladed screwdriver, in the distributor hole, rotate the oil pump gear so that the slot in the oil pump shaft is slightly past the 3:00 o'clock position, relative to the length of the engine block.
3. With the distributor cap removed, install the distributor with the rotor at the 5:00 o'clock position, relative to the oil pump gear shaft slot. When the distributor is completely in place, the rotor should be at the 6:00 o'clock position. If not, remove the distributor and perform the entire procedure again.
4. Tighten the lockbolt.

Remember rated this post; I hope help you with this.

First you need to determin witch one is #1 on cap Witch usely is the one directly behind carb. or throutle body. than its perty strate forward from there rotor runs clockwise. Cap only goes on one way. Food for thought when you chg. cap or wires one at a time is the rule even for a seasoned mechanic.
