<x-flowed>You know, i bought a blue coil made in mexican for my type 3 and i took off the old original black german coil and the first thing that i noticed is that the german coil weighed about four times as much as the mexican one. Also the metal connectors one the german coil where made out of some type of heavy duty metal. I left the new mexican blue coil on but i kept the original one for is still works fine. I tell you, Jim made a profound statement a couple weeks back about never throwing away an original part because after market stuff is never as good. I guess this is what he was talking about.... later, jesse 71 fi squareback Mark wrote: I recently had an almost-new (probably less than 5k miles) "blue" coil crap out on the freeway. The primary windings shorted out. FWIW, it was a Mexican unit. I had a decades-old original coil in the on-board box of spares that I swapped in, and I was on my way again. -Mark Fuhriman ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe </x-flowed>
