Route high-voltage spark from the coil to each plug wire with the Standard Ignition Distributor Cap, part number GB-450. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1999 Volkswagen Jetta, 1990-1996 Volkswagen Passat and 1990-1998 Volkswagen Golf. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
The distributor cap works with the rotor to carry coil voltage to the correct spark plug wire in firing order. Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products, and it builds this cap with:
- Controlled production: Complete quality control throughout manufacturing, from componentry to the finished product.
- Engineering background: Draws on Standard Ignition's decades of research and development in distributor caps and rotors.
- Cap material: High dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin, designed for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
Signs a distributor cap may need replacing include cracks, carbon tracking, corroded or burned terminals, misfires, hard starting and rough running. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the ignition system first. If the cap is at fault, GB-450 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right Jetta distributor cap for my 1990-1999 Volkswagen Jetta?
GB-450 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1999 Volkswagen Jetta. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to match your exact vehicle and engine.
What does a distributor cap do?
It carries high voltage from the ignition coil to the rotor. The rotor passes that voltage to each outer terminal and on to the spark plug wires in firing order.
What is the GB-450 distributor cap made of?
Standard Ignition makes its distributor caps from high dielectric strength, glass/mineral reinforced polyester resin. The material is designed for less carbon tracking and greater resistance to electrical breakdown.
What are signs a distributor cap may need replacing?
Common signs are cracks, carbon tracks, and corroded or worn terminals. A failing cap may contribute to misfires, hard starting or rough running, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
How is a distributor cap replaced?
Remove the old cap, then move the plug wires to the new cap one at a time, keeping each in the same position to preserve the firing order. Follow your vehicle's service information.
