I'd used the OE electronic stuff for years in my ex-Bug and am using it now in my Bus (though not in my T3 .. yet) and never had a problem with coils. Just a straight piece of wire carrying 12V to terminal 15. I "passed on" the spare setup from my ex-Bug to a local Bus friend and she *did* have the coil die .. but it may have just been old age. I'd run that coil daily for three years, but it came from the junkyard and was who-knows-how old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
