This ignition coil is supplied complete with spark plug connector and features an SAE type connector, making it a direct replacement for many Volkswagen petrol engines from the late 1990s through to mid-2010s.

The ignition coil converts the vehicle’s low battery voltage into the high voltage required to fire the spark plugs. When the engine control unit triggers the coil, it rapidly collapses a magnetic field inside the coil windings, producing a high-voltage pulse that travels through the integrated spark plug connector to ignite the air/fuel mixture. A strong, consistent spark is essential for smooth running, fuel efficiency and correct emissions.

Common symptoms of a failing coil include:
• Engine misfire (especially under load)
• Rough idle
• Flashing engine management light
• Poor fuel economy
• Hard starting

Replacing faulty coils promptly prevents catalytic converter damage caused by unburnt fuel.

Technical Specification

• Type: Ignition Coil with integrated spark plug connector
