What we hear is that the German Blue Coils are good, as are the Brazilian ones (I think,) but the Mexican ones are to be avoided. I'm disappointed in Bosch that they let this be the case. Didn't John Connelly post that if the Blue coil sold for $20-25 then it was the bad one, while the good ones were something over $30. Of course that's little protection against someone willing to take some extra profit and sell the Mexican ones for $35. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
