the mounting nuts . . .
9 Unscrew the mounting nuts, remove the
small plates, and withdraw the distributor (see
illustrations).
10 Check the condition of the O-ring on the
mounting flange and renew it if necessary.

11 Remove the ignition HT coil (Section 3).
12 Identify the HT leads for position, then
disconnect them from the spark plugs.
13 Unbolt the HT lead support from the
cylinder head.
14 Pull back the plastic cover, then extract
the screws and remove the distributor cap.
15 Disconnect the wiring at the connector
(see illustration).
16 Pull the hose from the vacuum advance
unit.
17 Mark the distributor mounting flange in
relation to the distributor/fuel pump housing
(see illustration).
18 Unscrew the mounting nuts, remove the
small plates, and withdraw the distributor (see
illustration).
19 Check the condition of the O-ring on the
mounting flange, and renew it if necessary.
Refitting
All engines
20 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but turn
the rotor arm as required to align the lugs with
the offset slot in the camshaft. If the old
distributor is being refitted, align the
previously made marks before tightening the
mounting nuts. If fitting a new distributor,
initially set the distributor in the middle of the

and refitting
Removal

All engines except TU series

1 The ignition amplifier unit is located at the
left-hand side of the engine compartment
mounted on the side of the suspension strut
tower.
2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Slide the cover off the ignition HT coil and
amplifier.
4 Disconnect the amplifier wiring harness.
5 Remove the screws and withdraw the
amplifier from the mounting plate.
TU series engines
6 The amplifier unit is attached to the side of
the distributor.
7 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
8 Disconnect the amplifier wiring at the
connector.
9 Remove the two screws and withdraw the
amplifier from the distributor, taking care not
to bend the terminals (see illustration).
10 Do not wipe away
heat-conductive grease, as this protects the
semi-conductor components within the
amplifier. If necessary, obtain new grease
from a Peugeot dealer.

grease is spread evenly over the mating
surfaces of both the distributor and amplifier
unit.
