[s-cars] 1.8t coil temperatures

[Varon H. Fugman]

Took temperature readings* of my 1.8t coils after a spirited 20 minute drive
home tonight. ambient temperature 61F.

 

Cyl#1 - VW dealer - 191F

Cyl#2 - 034 Motorsport - 189F

Cyl#3 - STI - 190F

Cyl#4 - VW dealer - 201F

Cyl#5 - STI - 193F

 

Humm. cylinder #4 is about 10 degrees hotter!  This is a VW-dealer sourced
115R coil.  I wonder if there is something about cylinder #4?

 

Will rearrange coils and test again!

*Temperatures readings taken with Craftsman IR thermometer.  Not a precision
instrument, but good enough to identify a clear temperature differential of
several degrees.
