leaking coil

Post by mbcamper »

Hi,

My van has just passed it's MOT without any problems, but the garage have helpfully pointed out that there is a minor oil leak from my coil. They are indeed correct so as the oil serves as the coolant for the coil it's going to be replaced before it overheats and gives ignition problems.

So looking at Brickwerks and JK there is a massive difference in price. BW coming in at £46 and JK at £26...

I'm sure the answer to the question is that you get what you pay for, but just wanted to confirm...

Thanks

Mark

Because the Brickwerks is made by the original manufacture and the JK one is a pattern part because to many people want to drive a VW but don't want to pay for quality parts.
