BX16v cap and arm
Need a new cap and arm for BX16v. Looks a heck of a price so assume it's genuine Ducelier as could get similar for lot less. Can anyone confirm that? Cheers.

From GSF not likely to be Ducellier despite what the brochure says ( the little asterisk may mean substitute). I ordered one but on collection it was a Beru. It works fine but had I known I would have hung out for the Ducellier. I just didn't want to mess them about as it was ordered specially and AFAIK beru are a good make. I had already rejected intermoter elsewhere but the Beru looks similar to it.
I find citroen OE is often better quality than some replacments and this is the case with the cap. You can see the difference in quality just by looking at them. The same applied with a water pump replacement. I am careful now since I do not want to replace good quality parts with others just because they are a bit cheaper. In this case pay the extra (will be a lot) and get the Duc.

There is no "genuine Citroen" part for this. Just a genuine Citroen logo box for the parts. But contents may vary - i.e. Ducellier, Valeo - whoever supplied to Citroen at the time.
The 16V dizzy cap and rotor is for some reason special made. Could be caused by a higher spec on the HT voltage. Physically the rotor arm is screw fixed. A design long discontinued on other cars at the time [:(]
Bery is a reputed German ignition parts manufacturer - and Beru overtook the French manufacturer of ignition parts Eyquem a couple of years ago. Eyquem has been the "genuine" Citroen ignition parts supplier for ages.
BTW : If your BX16V is fitted with the old style "coiled" center lead HT cables - it will prove more economic to replace with the later type carbon center lead types. Reason is the coiled types makes a back EMF from the coil - thus burning out your dizzy cap and rotor contacts too soon.

Right, Cit will use different suppliers. In ref to this, when I checked with Cit parts they did advise they would supply a Ducellier. (their tech. section confirmed it)
At the time the price put me off!
Pat no. 96038183 DISTRIBUTOR (cap alone) £104.50 (inc vat) but you will most likey get some trade on it. 20% if on a stock order. If you do order make sure they confirm it for you too.
It all depends if you want to keep it original or not with a quality part. You will see the contacts of your original, compare them to the cheaper ones.

PS. Reason I changed it was because I was having starting problems on damp mornings. Changed ig leads and plugs a couple of weeks ago. Today (after fitting cap and arm couple of days ago) for the first time ever it struggled to start despite perfect warm weather. Don't seem to be going in quite the right direction.

Flynn are you a memebr of www.bx16v.com ?????? almost all the members have had similar problems as yours! may be able to shed a bit more light on it!
Yes I'm a member Cornish. A quiet one.
Had another look and think I might be getting closer. [:)]
Looks like I've got a leaking injector seal. At least, looks like a hint of fuel just below the rail on top of #1 injector.
GSF don't seem to list them so is it a main dealer item? And is it just a simple spanner job as it looks?
