Introduction to Bosch Ignition Coils
Bosch has been a pioneer in automotive ignition systems since 1925, initially with the Kettering system. The company introduced the Transformer Ignition Coil to meet the evolving demands of modern automotive engines, offering improved performance and reliability.
Since 1987, Robert Bosch has supplied these transformer coils as original equipment to Australian vehicle manufacturers, making them a standard feature in most locally produced vehicles. This extensive OE experience has led to a comprehensive range of transformer coils available for aftermarket fitment, serving as direct replacements for older oil-filled types.
