After Heather refused to run 30 miles from home today,I was not psyched.Would turn over but no spark.Called the wife to come pick me up and swore at the cheap coil I bought "because the old maroon one is 30+ years old ".Went home and got the original,(yes, I am a packrat),went back and swapped it out and.........it fired right up! I will sacrifice a goat or something to the VW gods this night. At least to the Bosch one. "Dont'cha love it when a plan comes together?" David V.
