2. If you suspect a faulty ignition coil, the best way to check is to test replace it. If you have the necessary equipment, you can check the resistance of the windings. The resistance of the primary winding is specified in the Specifications, the resistance of the secondary winding is not strictly specified, but as a rule it should be in the range of 4000-12000 Ohms.
3. To remove the coil, disconnect the high and low voltage wires from it and unscrew the bolts that secure it. On models with 1.6/1.8L engines, the electrical plug must also be disconnected from the ignition module (see photos).

4. To remove the cylindrical type coil, loosen the clamping screw with nut and pull the coil out of its clamp (see photo).

5. Some reels have a safety plug. When the coil overheats, the plug flies out and the oil (or other insulating material) pours out of the coil. If this happens, replace the coil and ignition module.
6. Different types of coils used with different ignition systems are not interchangeable.
7. When installing the coil, please note that the low voltage wire connectors have different sizes and shapes to prevent incorrect wire connections.
