Ignition coil specs

[ed_armstrong@juno.com (ed armstrong)]

Hi Audiphiles:

I have a question regarding some specs for the ignition coil for a 5 cyln
GT Coupe engine (KX) . The Bentey manual for the 4000 series only lists
specs for the 4 cyln engine. I guess the 5 cyln specs could be the same
but I wanted to check before I replace the coil (it doesn't meet 4 cyln
spec) . My measurements for the  coil are:

high tension to negative contact:     6000 ohms (4 cyln spec is ~ 2500
+/- 500 ohms)
positive to negative contact:              1.2 ohms    (spec is ~0 .6 +/-
 0.1 ohms)

The specs I have listed are from memory but I was defnitely out of spec
when I took the measurements. Anyone know if the a 5 cyln coil would be
different. ?

BTW, the coil is a Japanese brand, not Bosch. Did Audi ever use a
Japanese coil as OEM ? Anyone have any recommendations for an aftermarket
coil if my coil is indeed defective. Thanks.
