Ignition coils, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
Measuring the primary resistance of the ignition 
coils is normally not necessary for this test 
(primary resistance approx. 0.4 to 0.6  , 
measured between coil terminals 1 and 15). 
     
A high tension isolation diode is installed in the 
secondary circuit of the ignition coil. Measuring 
the resistance of the secondary coil is therefore 
not possible with conventional measuring 
instruments. 
     
Required special tools and test equipment  
     Multimeter US 1119 (Fluke 83 or equivalent) 
     VW 1594 connector test kit 
     
Test conditions  
     No fuel injector malfunction stored in DTC 
memory

Test conditions  
     Fuse for ignition coils OK 
     
Checking  
     
-  Disconnect 4-pin harness connector from power 
output stage. 
     
-  Switch ignition on.
    
Note:   -  Connect VAG 1527B LED voltage tester in turn between 4-pin 
connector terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4, and engine ground. 
   LED must light up for all 4 terminals
