[s-cars] 5 new coils

[Tom Mullane]

Dave,
 I think the vast majority of us fall into the "it ain't broken now so I
ain't gonna mess with it" camp. Like others, I also have a spare POS and
coil at home. I'm in no hurry to change over, especially because this give
me time to see how your long term testing goes. I'm particularly interested
to see if there are ill effects from thing like bad weather, or if the heat
might a factor or some other nonsense.
 If I had a bad coil and no spares....

Okay, I am confused. Why would anyone be happy with spending 5 x $95
(plus taxes) on five old style coils and still have to worry about the
two $150 POSs taking unannounced early retirement(s) when they could
spend 5 x $30 on five 1.8 t coil packs with built-in POS units?? Both
require wiring (crimping or soldering).

Notice that the new 4.2 V8 S4s run the 1.8t style coil packs (with
orange rubber trim - ooooohh) not our big old honkin' boat anchor coils.

I tried to lead the way. But nobody is following. Hmmm...
