Went for a drive yesterday with the car club and when i stopped the Engine several times it did not want to restart.
The Coil Bosche Blue was very very hot and impossible to touch. After cooling for a few minutes the Engine started no problem.
So the question WHAT CAN CAUSE THE COIL TO OVERHEAT ?
I have fitted it away from the Engine in a cool place so not heat from Engine.
Do i need to fit a Resin filled Coil, could it be the Condensor is not doing it's job and causing the Coil to overheat.
Thanks in advance i'm all ears to listen to ideas.

Hi Penelope,
good idea, i just fitted a second Coil next to the existing one.
So when start problem arrives i will get out the car quickly and cahnge Cables to second Coil. Then see what happens.
