Golf GTI Mk2 8 valve(EV engine)1984.Problem with scorching on rev limiter rotor arm. having to replace or clean off scorching about every 500 miles. Car has covered 150,000 miles but runs well. prone to overheating in traffic, dispite using over-ride on electric fan.Wondered if this is related to faulty ignition module.Has anybody had similar experience?

Get the ignition timing checked and ensure the vacuum advance capsule is sound. Grossly retarded timing will cause the rotor to scorch as it will be out of alignment with the segments in the dis cap when firng takes place causing excessive arcing. Retarded ignition also increases engine temperature.
