[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 221318, member: 240"] Repeating my post on tech section in case you didnt see it :- Make sure there is only [b]one[/b] wire on the neg side of the coil that goes down to the points. I have seen this problem before where wires like the cutoff valve or the choke have been connected to the wrong side of the coil. Excess voltage can burn out a coil but that kind of voltage would also blow bulbs in the lights and indicators etc. Bays dont have a ballast resistor coil. In fact any 12 volt coil from any car will work fine. Let me know how you get on - I'm about 4 hours drive south of you, theres also a very good vw specialist close to here if you get down as far as the Lot. [/QUOTE]
