Remember, the Bentley manual was written 10 years ago and is not updated to
reflect superceded parts. While John's response may still apply to coils
supplied by the VW dealer (which are made by Bosch but distributed under
VW's numbering system), it may not apply to coils distributed by Bosch
directly to retailers other than VW dealers. The superceded "short" Bosch
part number for this coil is now 00061 (which crosses to the long Bosch
number noted above).  Also, current production may be black or red
(depending on which Bosch factory it originated from), and will not
neccessarily have a green label.
