hi guys,

today I was changing my coils to the BHR kit, and one of the old coils looks totally different than the others - the other 3 have the expected white spot at the back, but the one (btw. it's the T2, i.e. the last in the rear) looks kinda weird - should I be worried because of this? (i.e. overheating or something similar?)

on the left the weird


detail


mfg codes, th weird one is NGK


btw. I had two of the coils with the NGK manufacturer code, and two of the others, unfortunately don't remember their positions (except that the weird one was at the back)

 

The bwd coils I get from advance auto look like the one on the left.

I am not sure that there is anything wrong with it - it's got a nice healthy even color.

Basically the potting resin doesn’t have the same colour pigment as the original;
but it is branded NGK and is probably a replacement part, not a genuine OEM.
Whether it’s a genuine NGK, well that’s another question - that I can’t answer;
But the colour difference in the resin is nothing to be alarmed about.

Take your new BHR kit for a spin, and forget all about the nasty coil.

Regards Tony

 

great, I was afraid that heat or something else "melted" the coil (never thought they also make them translucent)

thanks
