Is there a electronic ignition kit for the 1.1l Formel e model?  VW heritage only lists one for aircooled cars and 1.5l engines. Thanks

One like this? This is for a Bosch dissy if you have a different set up you can check on the Accuspark website which kit you need.

For a Bosch dissy

I have fitted a Accuspark kit to my 1978 Mk1 Scirocco 1.6cc last year and have been very pleased with the results. The hardest thing about fitting it was finding a 12V ignition feed from the back of the fuse box which was free and still gave out 12v when cranking over the engine.

there will be a hall effect sender unit that can be fitted, find out what distributor you have and search for that instead of by vehicle. hotspark make them from pretty much every vehicle you can think off.

Thanks for that. 12 v Feed is easy.  Take it off the coil, and trigger a relay with a direct feed from the battery.  Thanks

ive got an accuspark set-up which hasd never been fitted that i could sell to you, it neds a 12v switched ignition live fom the fusebox as the power supply to the coil has a resistor in it which would be no good for the electronic ignition module, PM me if your interested in the kit  :thumbs:
