[s-cars] Installing New Coil

[Bob Rossato]

Interesting.  Maybe your local dealer decided to source the pins from
outside VAG as the individual pins are no longer listed in ETKA.  Only the
pre-wired stuff.  Or maybe he has a stash still left over from the good ole
days.  When VAG introduced their tackle box full of wires with pre-crimped
pins I cleaned out the local dealer of any remaining pins he had that I
could use.
