These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Need a recommendation for coils for my 2000 base 986. The reason I ask is I recently replaced the coils on my BMW X3. The price disparity was staggering for the exact same Bosch coils and plugs. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I've used Beru coils on both my Boxster and my 996. They worked great and were about 1/2 the price of Porsche-branded coils.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great, and where did you buy them from? Thanks.

POST 4Original post

Just picked up a new Bosch coil from FCP Euro for about $40.

POST 5Original post

I got a set of the Beru at RM european, $32 each.

I also went with Beru, I believe from this site's sponsor. Make sure they include longer bolts as they are thicker than original.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
