its for stepping up voltage to the spark plugs

i've had mine go... i hear they're in two parts.. the actual coil and something behind

apparently most often the other bit is what breaks on them, not the coil itself..

and some have this combined, some dont..


not sure how much different is on a mk3 valver..

but its basically a little silver box stuck on the firewall..

looks very different to the picture posted
