New ignition coil broken again?
Good morning,
My Golf Mk2 NZ had a crack in the ignition coil housing. Technically, the old coil was still working perfectly. Because of the crack, I replaced the coil with the one linked below. A few weeks later, the engine wouldn't start (no spark). I then reinstalled the old coil, and it's working perfectly again. What could be causing this? I just don't want to spend money again just to have it break two weeks later.

However, it was cheaper back then, costing about half as much.

Hello
simply buy branded goods from a dealer (where the professionals shop) on the Internet is sold too much scrap and fake stuff.
Traditional cups of ignition coils contain a lot of copper and you have to wind slowly, with both you can “optimize”/spread.
At the age, the ZS cover gets hairline cracks or usually as a result of dragged maintenance (candle change, ignition harness) when the high voltage crawls above the cover. As long as no oil soups out, the plastic is thoroughly cleaned and treated with insulation special lacquer (PUR base), Kontakchemie plastic 70 (acryl base) or phenolic resin.
So, short; the engine has probably never seen a correct maintenance of the high-voltage side of the ignition and the cap, fingers, cables, plugs are at the “end”, as a result of which the ignition coil is loaded more and this is then “heisser”. The original ignition coil has “digested” and got cracks in the plastic. The new ignition coil only survived 14 days.
So…
1x Distribution Finger Renew Brand (Bosch, Bremi, Beru, Hüko)
1x distributor cap renew (Bosch, Bremi, Beru, Hüko) there is the “naked” cap and cap with shielding.
3 drops of sewing machine oil for the lubrication felt of the centrifugal force adjustment (covered behind the Hallrotor cup)
Test/measure/renew
Test or renew spark plugs (NGK, Beru, Champion)
It should be warranty / warranty on the ignition coil (I still remember recommending it to you)
Sometimes things just get broken. Let you give you a new one and good 🙂
You don’t think that’s a cramp at Autodoc. Without a lawyer, things can hardly be returned. According to Autodoc, I would have installed the ignition coil incorrectly and therefore be blamed for it itself that it is defective
Then go to a car accessories store nearby. Google time. Mostly, the inconspicuous little villages are somewhere in the backyard. The advantage is that they don’t sell you crap, because they want the customer to come back and not the goods;-)
I will do, thank you
