    Hey there, appreciate all the VW beetle videos, just wanted to mention that the reason why one of the coil secondaries are showing 19k and then 1 is because you had the multimeter range on 20K Ohm, and the coil is going from 19k to past 20k so the meter goes into over-range and to get a reading you need to turn the dial to the next step or 200KOhm. I'm an electronics technician and Electrician so just thought I'd mention that. When a coil goes, the resistance drops, it never increases. But for re-overhauling the VW
    engine I am going to need all the help I can get man
    😁

    Hey Slade, great info on testing the Coils. Your 2nd short stubby coil that was reading weird , just set your volt/ohm meter up to the next level . From 20k to 200k. I think it was reading higher than what you set it at. Then you should get a reading on the meter. I hope this help. Keep the videos coming.

    This was exactly what I needed. My VW 1600 cc engine for my Sand Rail ended up having a thin corrosion layer on the coils negative side plug. My testing with an ohm meter helped me to identify the problem and your tips to test a spark at the plug confirmed the coil was still good… Thanks 👍🏼

    Good video! You are correct, the electronic ignition needs 3 ohms on the coil. I check my coils the same way. I had never thought about ringing it out to the case. You figure I would know that seeing how I'm an electrician. I do do motors that way.

    Hey Slade,
    Thanks for the detailed tutorial. I was having an ignition problem that I narrowed down to my Bosch blue coil. I followed your guidance and all checked ok, but still had a problem. I tilted the coil on the same angle as it is mounted on the fan shroud. Voila, it failed the primary test. I tested it multiple times as I slowly rotated it on its axis. It passed sometimes and failed sometimes. Please let your subscribers know to check it in an “upside down position” . It made a difference in my case. Purchased a new coil. Thanks again!

    Great video! I had no idea about getting the "zero" on the meter. My cheap Harbor Freight one is all over the place for a zero, but the readings seem consistent. I got a VW MG TD kit car from a family friend. It has sat unused since her grandfather passed away 6 years ago. Plugs and oil are brand new, he parked it immediately after servicing it. Some of the grandkids messed around trying to get it running, no luck. I have two coils for it, both show what I believe to be decent enough readings to at to spark. I have spark on both coils doing your test towards the end of the video. Any troubleshooting tips to go through for the condensor? And anything I should be checking on the rotor and cap? Everything looks extremely clean there. Just trying to figure out what's causing the issue between the VW schematics and the kit car schematics, it isn't too much fun

  • @borna430
    @borna430 Місяць тому

    great Video. So you tested it with the meter and then check for spark. Can you just check for spark and if you get a spark, then the coil is good?

  • @mikel2283
    @mikel2283 Рік тому +2

    you dont deduct the meter resistance on the second (high range) reading. the .02 would be 6860 - 0.02, not 6.86 - .02, so the reading really is not affected by the meter resistance on the high range reading, just the first, low range reading.

    Hello Slade.
    I have good resistance while testing the primary but absolutely nothing on the secondary side.
    My meter does not have an option to change the range. It’s an auto range high end fluke used in the electrician field
    I’m not getting anything out of the meter on the secondary. Not a beep. Could this mean a bad coil?
    Thank you

    On the second measurement that was 6.86 and you subtract meter resistance of .2. Wouldn’t it be 6.66 not 6.84?
