[s-cars] Re: Coils and PSO's

[Dave Forgie]

Christopher and Mike:  I have been posting all over on Audi World (B5
and B6 A4's 1.8t, 2.7t) and VW Vortex (Golf/Jetta IV, B5 and B6) forums
asking for information about the pin outs on the "115 L" 1.8 t coil
pack.  This is the one with the built in POS.  It has four pins (as
opposed to our coils).  Nothing yet.  A friend is bringing a Jetta IV
Bentley to work so I can have a look at it.  I think this has the
potential to be a winner.

The four pin connectors are available from the dealers.  Not cheap but
available.  If this goes, it may be wise to develop a DIY instructions
AND a GP on the connectors and/or the coil packs.  I bought one for
CDN$40 taxes in so the price is VERY reasonalb.e
