RE: [T3] Coils


<x-charset iso-8859-1>The early Vanagon engine and coil is the same as a late loaf engine,
and it has a standard VW coil.  Owned an '80 Vanagon for 14 years.
Fairly straight forward FI system.  Never had an injector problem.

BTW, if you get a coil without the internal resistor, you'll eat
points every 200 miles, BTDT.  Some idiot installed one in my bus,
and it wasn't me, thank AAA service for that after a tow, they 
insisted on solving the problem.  This would apply to all VW's.

While Herman mentioned rebuilding a late Vanagon, the question
asked concerned an early Vanagon coil.  Subtle, but important
distinction.

you should be able to replace it with any 12V coil that does not 
require a series resistor or an electronic ignition. A T1 type should 
be just fine; I don't know about the late Vanagon.
