Porsche 997 etc coils - is there a difference .....?

[YoungMD]

Be very pleased if somebody could advise on this, are Beru ignition coils the same as porsche orginal or similar enough ? They seem to be half the price and with 5 roasted on my 997 was thinking maybe porsche orginal are not necessary ?

Any thoughts much appreciated, and changing spark plugs what a great job on a 997 hey, to be fair I have the exhaust muffles removed so it's actually reasonably easy, with them on it must be a bit of a challenge.....

Hi genuine coil packs were made by Beru,the latest genuine ones are made by Borg Warner and are a lot chunkier with longer bolts.You can buy Beru ones from Eurocarparts and come with the bolts.

Thanks very helpful, heaven knows how you get chunkier ones to fit in through the web.
