Rarely see a BMW in Montana, US. Delco Remy and Auto-Lite coils don't have that feature. Thanks for the refresher on coils. Plenty of old vehicles & machinery around here.
Yes that tells us how to test the resistance. But why oh why is there no video on UA-cam that tells us how to test the VOLTAGE of the coil?? Very annoying.
I had this coil on my w123 280ce mercedes and when it failed, the circle cap (your question) had a blow out and some oil leaked from it so I imagine its a safety valve and check valve
Ohms testing is great but temperature effects things massively hard wiring is by far the best choice. I used to reflash ecu's and temperature would effect that to the point they wouldn't reflash properly. Just a thought anyway happy youtubing
You can also add 12v to the positive post put the ht lead in the coli with a spark plug in the end run a jump lead from the negative from the battery to the plug and and connect a wire from the minus side of the coil striking the spark plug it should spark if it doesn't coil is no good
@@XarlioG60 By performing the battery test you should see a small spark from the spark plug. Keep in mind that the bigger spark will be produced when touching the wire that connects from the coil negative to the battery negative :D You can take a look at the video below, it was already tested in this channel: ua-cam.com/video/oc941J0wh0Y/v-deo.html
I am thinking a little hole in the coil was to put the wires in place. It's probably where the clip fit into. But that's just a guess because I have no idea what are the coil came from or what it belongs to.
When I put one probe into the output terminal and one against the outside of the coil I get a 7.50 reading, which is the same reading I get if I go from a primary terminal to the output terminal. Does that mean the coil is bad? My motorcycle seems to be running ok, but if the coil is bad I should replace it.
Great video but there so cheap it's almost quicker to just swap it anyway?? If you have doubts about a old coil chances are it's been on the engine for a while so just change it.
Not nowadays , especially for older vehicles. Just paid 100$ for an old/new (in box unused but on the shelf for years) Bosch coil (yes, you can certainly still buy a no-name for 15$ + shipping but it’s pretty common to buy a dud coil and think there’s something else going on electrically and spend time/$ trying to chase it down). And a video like this will help you eliminate a bad coil before going to the next possibility .
Now we know what Dracula does in his free time ! Great video Dracula !
😂😅
Bla bla
Excellent video, straight forward with no hype. Thankyou for posting
I have a couple of equipments that use coils in the engines. Now I can test them. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment! Of course, BMW is more for Europe. And old cars are for fans, for the soul.
It is for a condenser to keep out static interference on the radio
Thanks for the crystal clear video
Thanks for the rating!

That's a sure sign it's failed I'm a marine engineer and see these a lot on boats leakage is a sign it's on its way.
well done,thanx alot for such wonderful lessons.
Thanks for practical video.
I got 608 on all tests..... Is that good or bad?
Excellent video.

They showed the temp
Very good
And helpful teaching
Thanks a lot!
Exelente, vídeo,,, de TijuanaB.c. saludsss,,
Muchas gracias!
Is the hole for pcb cooling oil like Lucas had?
Is there continuity between the pos and negative pins?

How much the spark should be visible in a room completely dark doing 12V check?

Mine is reading 5950 & 0.6 ohms
Should it replaced?
And what about a coil ages? .... Which internal components start to go?
Escape of phosgene gas?
🔥👍
Bro do you have the product link

The coil was on a BMW, and the hole is a fuse, in case the coil fails
👍 👍 👍!!!
Ahhh. Now I bet the other reply is correct. Fuse holder?
When I put one probe into the output terminal and one against the outside of the coil I get a 7.50 reading, which is the same reading I get if I go from a primary terminal to the output terminal.

Bad. Should replace. It's case should not have an Ohm reading like that.
Its for a supresor for radio
aren't those readings low? shouldn't. it be 1.5 ohms on primary
Thanks! Slava Ukraini!
1,2,3 ignition coil ah ah ah!!
😂
Closed Captions please? Thanks for sharing, - take care
Thank you very much for your comment!
Hello, whats the little hole for?
Hello! If the ignition module is defective, a fuse will blow in this hole in the ignition coil. This will protect the coil from explosion.
@@helpfromthegarage1677 whoa, cool! And where can i get this fuse? Mine always had an empty hole for as long as i can remember. Thanks!
As far as I know, it is impossible to change this. If there is no plug in the ignition coil, then the coil must be replaced.
@@Tenkaichibudokai22 🤣
That's a wire terminal Lock
