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.
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!
The Audi r8 ones are good tho, for a tuned vw
I used R8 performance coils in my mk6 golf R. Have been excellent.
But once you get the R8 coils they lasted for a very long time.
A blue Beru is what I have been using for a decade.
Those parts prices are way overpriced, those same Beru coils and ngk plugs are under 240 on fcpeuro.
I have used the R8 red top coils. I went back to stock coils after noticing a slight low speed low rpm hesitation. No misfire codes but it just didn’t run the same. It ran great when winding it out but I don’t do that all the time.
Don't bother with the R8 coils that everyone says is an upgrade. It isn't. They are just red.
I've replaced 4 of the 6 packs over the last three or so years. All but one actually broke in two when trying to remove them, leaving the bottom half on the spark plug!! I suspect water ingress (not sure how with all that plastic) as the coil packs all showed signs of corrosion.
