Daryl Mechanic Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Here's the story...I suspected a knackered coil, ignition leads or spark plugs on my Lupo 1.4 sport (100bhp).Changed the plugs and problem was still there.Then I spotted a coil going really cheap on Ebay (£0.99) it was from a Polo but had she same part number so I bought it.It just arrived today and to my suprise he has sent the ignition leads with it too.So what I wanted to know was, can I use the ignition leads from the Polo on my Lupo as it would help me rule my current ones out as a problem without spending any extra cash.I don't want to keep them on there, I just want to try them to see if they fix the problem and if they do I will invest in a new set of Lupo leads.Here is an image of the Polo leads: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) they look like they are for an 8V 1.4 engine.looks like the leads i used on my mates 1.4 mk3 golf.id use angled style ones (also rubber iirc) designed to fit into the space for your spark plugs.Gti ones fitEDIT:i can see a King-lead there, for a Coil pack going into a distributor, which im sure this engine does not have! im very sure its just the Four leads coming from a coil pack and into the Plugs. Also, coil-packs are a common fault with this engine.also ive heard they don't like pattern parts, so buy a genuine coil pack if you can!

Daryl Mechanic Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 There is no king lead.So I tried the coil, it is a used genuine vw coil, it made a huge difference for about 10 - 15 mins then back to the same problem. Maybe a little better.Really confusing me now, guess I will get hold of some of the correct leads and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
