If you bought new ones, then it's hard to know what you got (unless you kept the boxes or the coils.) Some came from Brazil, some from Mexico. A lot depends on WHEN they were bought. The OE coils were all black and were all German made. The Bosch blue coils also come in yellow and red boxes and are of dubious quality ever since they started coming from this hemisphere. I don't know for sure, but early blue coils from Germany are probably very good quality. I have a couple of these that I've inherited over the years in case someone REALLY has to have one, but I really don't recommend them; there's just no good reason not to use an OE coil. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
