Can anyone tell me if I can use an AGG engine coil on an ABF engine please?

TIA

thats bargain cheap. made by mayle

 

Got a virtually brand new one off my old 8V so thought I'd stick it on Becky's ABF if it works...

Happy Days

 

They are ***T coils though.

 

The spare one I have is a Genuine VW one 45 from GSF about 18months ago

 

they mayle one is ---T ?

 

***T

 

mk3 coils in general. 3rd one in as many months.

 

the original that came with my car still worked when i replaced it 18 months ago with a BERU one. i keep the original in the car as a precaution

 

Wise choice. No warning when they go.

 

yup, ive known a few people have those die. one guy was coming back from france, did a long old trip, got home, popped out to the shops and on the way home it wouldnt start. funny animals those things

 

I had one that did not last more than 7 days from new.
It is usually the ignition amplifier that gives up

 

We have done that in the past. Or in some cases make your own amplifier

 

Replaced my coil when I had running issues for a GSF Beru unit, only to find it was a relay. Nice to have a spare coil (the old one) sat in the garage just incase though.

 

I am in the process of trying to do this by using a Coil from another marque. Has a ignition module packaged closer. Hopefully it will be more robust. I'm trying not to have to mod the MS again just yet.
