Eldor coil . Why two different ones ?

[gazgaz]

Hey guys,

I've been scouring the internet for solutions to a no spark problem on an 05 fse 450, and I've tried a bunch of different things. Everything seems to be perfect, other than the fact I'm not getting a secondary resistance reading through the coil. One fella I called said this is normal, but everything else I've read says otherwise?

I'm hoping to buy one, but was hoping you guys might be able to shed some light on the matter first.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried to replace the FSE450 ignition coil with VAG group(VW/Audi/Skoda) ignition coil? By the appearance they are the same and the plug should be the same. If anyone has one coil to measure, then share the results....length etc.
Example:

Okay i went on a limb and bought one VAG group ignition coil (part 036905715), as on above picture. Measurments are all the same, plug fits but the wire order is little bit different. So reorderd the pins but still no spark
Are the inside electronics really this different that you can't get a spark? Or is it possible i got defective coil from shop?
It's crazy how GasGas wants 150-200 euros for original coil and car coils cost 20-30 euros :S

Would MFS450780006 ignition coil work on older models?
MFS450780006 is for 2007 and up models so it would be for Kokusan ECU.
But it has built in igniter like older one. It has 3 pins vs 4pins but usually 4 pin ones have 2 grounds.
So i'm wondering if Kokusan and Magneti Marelli ECU-s have the same triggering signal? I think Marelli has 12v trigger signal for ignition?

Hi all.

Was there any answer to this? I have just bn told mine is on the way out for my 05 FSE450. Would be good if there could be an easy answer.

Sadly still no info and i was told that theres no stock in GasGas factory :S

VAG coil did not work! At least one that i tried....but theres many many versions of VAG coils.
Connector may be the same but that doesn't mean it works.
But if you say your coil has VW/Audi logos then share a picture or part number for others

Sorry, I was wrong. The connector has VW/Audi logo on it. The Coil is GG, made in Italy, part No. MFS400380006 (ELDOR 78290011). It has four connetcion pins.

Yeah, thats more likely
But if anyone needs new coil and can't find original one, then check out my Honda CBR replacement
