09-272X Spark Plug Wire Set - VW Vanagon 1984-1991 1.9L 2.1L

Spark Plug Wire Set – 09-272X / 200-998-031D

The 09-272X set is engineered to handle the unique demands of the Vanagon engine bay, where heat management and electrical insulation are critical. These wires often feature a 7mm or 8mm silicone jacket to resist the high ambient temperatures found in the rear-engine compartment.

Worn-out wires on a Wasserboxer often lead to "Vanagon Syndrome" symptoms, including intermittent stumbling, poor fuel economy, and hard starting in damp weather. Replacing the wires, especially when they show signs of arcing or the rubber boots become brittle, is one of the most effective ways to maintain engine reliability.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• One-by-One Replacement: To avoid mixing up the firing order, always replace one wire at a time. Match the length of the new wire to the one you are removing.

• Dielectric Grease: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the inside of the spark plug boots and the distributor cap boots. This prevents the rubber from sticking to the porcelain and helps seal out moisture.

• Routing Security: Use the factory plastic wire looms or clips. Allowing these wires to drape over the metal exhaust shields or the alternator belt will cause immediate failure.
