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. The 3.4 ohm primary resistance is in the same range as factory-spec coils, so it works with stock points and most electronic ignition modules without requiring a ballast resistor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-Energy Spark:\u003c\/b\u003e Sealed high-energy design delivers a hotter, more consistent spark than oil-filled coils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePoints \u0026amp; Module Friendly:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4 ohm primary works with stock points and most electronic modules, no ballast resistor required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAny-Orientation Mounting:\u003c\/b\u003e Sealed construction removes the upright-only requirement of oil-filled coils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGenuine Bosch:\u003c\/b\u003e German OE-supplier quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 12 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrimary resistance:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e Sealed \/ high-energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColor:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Bosch (German OE supplier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOE cross-reference:\u003c\/b\u003e Bosch 9244771008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePart number:\u003c\/b\u003e 00-9575-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBlack vs Blue Bosch coil — what's the difference?\u003c\/b\u003e The Bosch Blue is a long-standing oil-filled coil; the Bosch Black is a sealed high-energy design with slightly hotter spark output. 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\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill this work with Pertronix Ignitor?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, with the standard Ignitor (Ignitor I). For Ignitor II and III, check Pertronix's coil resistance requirements — those modules typically want a lower-resistance coil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCan I mount it in any orientation?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes.
