    Default Bosch coil celebrity meltdown.........

    I've had this kicking around a while. It was the cause of a major stumble on the M50 engine. Difficult to tell without another coil in the pic for reference, but a significant amount of 'plastic' is MIA.



    Check those coils every now and then. Just sharing.

    yeah, from my M50. No idea how long that one was in service, but it certainly has seen some serious miles.

    Wow. Mine looked in very good condition when I did my valve cover gasket and spark plugs.
