Ignition coil pack, new for 1993, is located on left side of cylinder head. When ignition coil is triggered, spark is supplied to 2 spark plugs at one time. One spark plug fires during compression stroke and the other plug fires during exhaust stroke (waste spark). Passat used a distributor type ignition system in vehicles with a production date of 1/93 or before. Engine code may be PG or AAA. Ignition coil specifications are not available from manufacturer. Refer to PASSAT GLX for testing.
