BERU Ignition coil

I use a BERU ZSE001 Ignition Coil, also in a '72. It's bomb-proof - zero starting issues after a lifetime (3 decades!) of bump-starting.

Only disadvantage is it doesn't like being left in the 'contact' position for long, which is not a problem for me.

Pros: bomb-proof, zero starting issues
Cons: dislikes contact position
Part number: ZSE001

Rating 4.0

Conselho: coloque bobinas originais Beru ou então Magneti Marelli. As demais bobinas pra K4M não são boas de acordo com todos os membros do Clube da Megane que precisaram fazer troca delas!

Pros: original parts recommended
Cons: other brands not good
Vehicle: Renault Megane

BERU Ignition coil

The stock ignition coil on our Mk3 Jetta -- which we've had since it was new in 1996 -- just went out about two years ago. Typical crack causing the engine to die when going through puddles. I considered replacing it was an inexpensive Meyle coil. Decided against it, because while Meyle is a German company, their ignition coil is made in China, and I'd heard some bad things. Figuring the OEM VW coil really is over-priced, I finally decided on a Beru coil. It is made in Germany, and so far no problems.

Pros: made in Germany, no problems
Cons: OEM VW coil over-priced

BERU Ignition coil

I had my old OE coilpack off, replaced with the new BERU unit. I had everything put back together, started her up, and she was running okay, but still far from perfect.

Pros: running much smoother
Cons: still far from perfect
