Hi Colin,

I would agree with Pete and Tony, I suspect you have purchased a faulty coil and nothing more sinister than that.

These days more and more counterfeit and poor quality coils and other components are appearing at the factors. even to the point where the recognised bosch suppliers don't even offer you an option of bosch parts when you are pricing unless you ask for it!!

ECP have contributed mainly to this I feel and are forcing our once good suppliers to stock poor quality cheap garbage to compete.

It doesn't help that Most people in our trade are prepared to accept cheaper poor quality in order to boost their profits, Short term gain for long term detriment I feel.

Mike.
