Beaky Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 A silly question, I saw you said the HT leads are positioned correctly, but have you tested each one individually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlySurdi Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hi Roy yes it's brilliant 👏 The coil is made in Brazil, which as we know are not as good as the black ones made before. Does anyone know if the coils will still be made there or will bosch make the new ones elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterK Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Jonny at ClassicRetrofit was getting some made. Probably still early in the process but the first samples were hand wound and resin filled. They’re never going to be cheap to manufacture but will surely be super reliable. Looking at the insides of the mass produced cheap cr4p on sale currently, it’s no wonder they don’t last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Hart Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Pretty sure the OP has a 3.2 engine so different to the CDI coil on the SC engine. Still reliability issues with these though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type911 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Yep, the 944 numbered coils fit 3.2, 944, 968, 928 and 964. They are much better than the SC ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlySurdi Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 The saga has (unfortunately) continued today!! I went to the jetwash to give the car a clean, after finishing up I went to start and the engine just turned over and over (very strongly) but would not start! GRRRRR!! I made sure there was no water in the engine compartment and everything was dry. Eventually had to get the car loaded up and brought home, hours after this happened it still wont start. In the last 4 or 5 weeks I've replaced the starter motor, the ignition coil and the spark plugs. It's driving (hah!) me mad now! Any ideas would be appreciated, I'm at my wits end now.
