Ignition coils are essential components of the ignition system in petrol vehicles, transforming the low voltage of the battery into the high voltage necessary to generate a spark on the spark plugs. Thanks to them, the engine runs smoothly, and the ignition of the fuel-air mixture takes place precisely and efficiently. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts, including ignition coils, perfectly matched to brands such as BMW, Audi , Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini and others .

What are the functions of ignition coils?

Ignition coils are crucial for the proper operation of the ignition system and the entire engine:

• Voltage Boost – Converts battery voltage (12V) into the high voltage (up to 40,000V) needed to produce a spark at the spark plugs.
• Providing precise ignition – They work in synchronization with the ignition module and spark plugs, ensuring the correct ignition timing.
• Improving engine performance – Efficient ignition of the fuel-air mixture affects the performance and economy of the vehicle.
• Reduction of exhaust emissions – Thanks to efficient ignition, the coils contribute to the complete combustion of the fuel, reducing the emission of harmful gases. Used car parts, such as ignition coils, are a cost-effective solution that allows you to restore the full functionality of your ignition system.

Why is it worth taking care of ignition coils?

Healthy ignition coils are critical to engine operation. Common problems include:

• Burnt windings – May cause lack of voltage at the spark plugs and problems with starting the engine.
• Electrical Circuit Failure – Coil problems can lead to engine misfiring or uneven ignition.
• Mechanical damage – Cracks and wear on the coil housing can affect its efficiency and durability.
• Contamination – Deposits and moisture can cause contact corrosion and voltage drops. If you need replacement, choose used car parts, which offer high quality and reliability.

How to choose the right ignition coils?

• Matching your vehicle model – At Global Parts you will find ignition coils that perfectly fit BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini and more .
• Technical condition - Used ignition coils should be fully functional, free from mechanical and electrical damage.
• Coil Type – Select the appropriate coils for your vehicle’s ignition system (e.g. single, multi-function or cluster coils).
• Technical parameters – Check voltage specifications and compatibility with ignition module and spark plugs. Car parts, such as ignition coils, must be precisely matched to ensure efficiency and safety.

How to take care of ignition coils?

• Regular inspection – Check the condition of the coils during technical inspections, especially if you notice problems with the engine operation.
• Cleaning and Maintenance – Remove dirt and moisture from around the coils to prevent corrosion and interference.
• Avoiding overloads – Maintain proper electrical parameters to prevent coils from overheating.
• Repair or replacement on time - In case of damage, choose car parts, which will quickly restore the full functionality of the ignition system.
