It produces a stronger, more consistent spark than older oil-filled coils, particularly at higher RPM and under load, while remaining fully compatible with stock VW points ignition. For owners who want Bosch reliability with slightly improved performance over the standard Blue coil, the Black is the upgrade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.4 ohm primary resistance is in the same range as the factory-spec coils, which means it works with stock points and most electronic ignition modules without requiring a ballast resistor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sealed \/ high-energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch (German OE supplier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOE cross-reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch 9244771008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 00-9575-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-volt VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, Bus, and Thing with stock points ignition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir-cooled VWs converted from 6V to 12V electrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and other 12V points-ignition vehicles using a 3.0–3.5 ohm coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill NOT work for:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-volt electrical systems (use a 6V coil instead).

Both are 12V and roughly the same resistance range. For a numbers-correct restoration, the Blue is more period-correct. For a daily-driven car where slightly hotter spark is a plus, the Black is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this work with Pertronix Ignitor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, with the standard Ignitor (Ignitor I).

The benefit is appearance (polished chrome vs. plain steel that's usually rusted) and corrosion resistance (chrome doesn't rust like bare steel does).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they fit my Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAny IRS-equipped Beetle from 1968–1979. If your car has swing axle rear suspension (1967 and earlier Standard Beetles), these don't fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they come with hardware or bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCaps only. Mounting bolts and bearings are separate items — typically the factory hardware can be reused if in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install these myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, with basic hand tools. Remove the existing caps, swap to the chrome version, reinstall and torque to spec. 10-15 minutes per side once you have the rear wheel off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat torque spec for the mounting bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFollow your service manual for the IRS axle bearing cap torque spec — typically in the 25-35 ft-lb range depending on year. Verify against your specific application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the chrome hold up in wet weather?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nQuality chrome plating resists corrosion well. Like any chrome part, occasional cleaning with a chrome polish keeps the finish looking new. In heavy salt-belt winter use, expect more maintenance to keep the finish pristine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these stock-size or oversized?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStock-size, direct factory replacement. The bolt pattern, bearing pocket, and overall geometry all match factory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMPI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44899686645875,"sku":"17-2699-0","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2760\/1523\/files\/17-2699-0-500x443.jpg?v=1777275179"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2760\/1523\/collections\/IMG-4916_d9224dbe-e59f-42de-b61b-753baed6612a.jpg?v=1779746640","url":"https:\/\/shop.washburnsmetal.com\/collections\/vw-thing.oembed","provider":"Washburn's Metal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
