THE BERU BLUE COIL IS AN OUTSTANDING PROVEN HIGH PERFORMANCE 12 VOLT COIL.  IT IS A STOCK APPLICATION OR REPLACEMENT UNIT ON THOUSANDS OF CAR MODELS.  IT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN INTERNAL BALLAST RESISTOR. IT REPLACES THE POPULAR LUCAS COILS.

PERFECT FOR THOSE CARS RUNNING ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULES IN THE DISTRIBUTOR INSTEAD OF POINTS.  ALSO WORKS GREAT ON ALL IGNITIONS WITH POINTS.

It fits all years of 12 volt air cooled VWs/Porsche except the latest fuel injection models.  Check extensive fitment charts above and in “compatible vehicles” section of this listing.

12V Beru Blue Coil is a factory replacement for a 00012 Bosch Blue Coil with the 3.3 ohm impedance (internal ballast resistance). It is compatible with points, and points replacement devices. If you are running an electronic module instead of points (Accu-fire, Compufire or Pertronix), you MUST make sure your ignition coil has a ballast resistor.  If not, you will burn up the electronic module.

To check your existing coil, first make sure you have 12V going to the terminal 15 on the coil (Terminal 15 is positive, terminal 1 is negative. Then pull the wire out of the center of the distributor with a rubber handled pair of pliers, and hold it about 1/4" from the metal clips that holds the distributor cap on. Have someone crank over the engine, and there should be a nice blue spark that goes from the end of the wire you pulled out of the center of the cap to the metal clip. It should look and sound strong, and should be easy to see, even in daylight. If it looks thin and weak (yellow is weak, blue is strong), then the coil windings may be giving out.

Another test is to use an Ohmmeter and with all the wires taken off the terminals of the coil attach the positive and negative, red and black, wires of the meter to first the terminal 1 and 15 that are printed (stamped) on the coil. You should have a reading of at least 3-4.5 ohms, which is the resistance reading inside the coil. A bad coil will show a higher reading then 3-4.5.

Next, place the red or black lead from the meter to the center of the coil (secondary post), and to either one of the terminals, again 1 or 15 on the coil. You want 9500-10000 Ohms, sometimes you'll see less, but you don't want to see something like 11,000. Or if you have no reading in either case, the coil is bad.
