Information from later in the thread:

HeSa wrote: A star coil is not the only correct coil for pre 1952 Splits. Infact it seems that it is incorrect for 1951 cars.

Bosch 1952 blue spare parts book lists the following:

VW 1947-1950: TE 6 A 3 früher = earlier TL 6/1
VW 1951: same as above

For Goliath the change from TL 6/1 to TE 6 A 3 is mentioned and took place on 11 November 1950. For VW the date is not mentioned.

The TE 6 coils are not star coils. They have the "reserve" place for the third connector in the bakelite as seen in the picture. The other end has a round pressing.

And it appears to be the correct coil for splits. For 1951s and for some in the range of 1947-1950. At least according to Bosch :)

TL 6/1 was used before November 1, 1950
TE 6 A3 was used after November 1, 1950


TE6B1 was used on August 14, 1956 starting with chasis 1261493

TK (fat) Porsche vs TE (thin) VW. is not that hard

Oh................he knows. :roll:

Someone in BC sold two TK/6 (one NOS in box one nice used) to a friend of mine as a correct star coils for his 1950 split. 600 euros he paid.
He came back to Mexico all happy with his finds and I had to tell him the truth. :cry:

Looking at the bracket the eboy coil is neither VW nor Porsche. Good luck with the bidding :shock:

Coil deprived as a child

one is thin, the other is fat , these are the differences ....

btw the thin one is not "te" it is "tl" , correct me if i am wrong

Ricardo

Rollo Tomasi Fri Oct 19, 2007 8:42 am

Right!! the one I have here is Stamped TL 6/4 , but I remember saw TE in other car vws??

What about voltage diferencies,??

mr. patina Fri Oct 19, 2007 8:50 am

i had it in my hands last weekend in mannheim on the veterama.
price was 50eur.
i think the star is just stamped in the top of the coil.......

Genrich Fri Oct 19, 2007 8:51 am

Ricardo,
Do you mean the diameter of the coil itself or the bead around the "star" of the coil?
Erich

splitpartsunlimited Fri Oct 19, 2007 9:19 am

NO , I MEAN THE DIAMETER OF THE COIL BY ITSELF ....IT IS ABOUT 52MM FOR THE THIN , BUT I DON`T HAVE A FAT ONE TO MEASURE ...

WAS ROMANO SELLING THAT COIL AT VETERAMA ??

Rollo Tomasi Fri Oct 19, 2007 9:21 am

I will measure the diameter of the TK(fat) on my 52

johnshenry Fri Oct 19, 2007 10:03 am

I have both kinds at home, will measure tonight....

virtanen Fri Oct 19, 2007 10:05 am

My thin TL 6/1 dia is ca. 52.2 mm




My fat TK6/3 dia is ca. 63.8 mm


billmetric Sun Oct 21, 2007 8:06 am

interesting style of coil there but obviously neither a VW nor Porsche with that type of mounting, looks like a possible bargain if you need a wrong part that hasnt been "proofed" the seller should know better than to represent it as a VW part ...

oldbarnvws Sun Oct 21, 2007 8:23 am

no surprises here .....do you know who`s selling the coil ? the good ol`romano !

johnshenry Sun Oct 21, 2007 11:39 am

My skinny one is marked "TL 6/1"

mr. patina Sat Oct 27, 2007 2:47 am

yes, ricardo, romano was the seller and is also the seller of the coil on ebay.
i saw some tk12 coils today, they cost around 80eur.

A star coil is not the only correct coil for pre 1952 Splits. Infact it seems that it is incorrect for 1951 cars.
