BOSCH 0221504030 IGNITION COIL
Product Specifications
| BOSCH | 0221504030 |

The IGNITION COIL is a high-voltage transformer that steps up the 12 V battery supply to the 20,000–40,000 V spark discharge required to ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder. Modern pencil-type coil-on-plug (COP) units — the dominant design in current production vehicles — mount directly over the spark plug, eliminating the high-voltage lead and reducing energy loss. Each coil fires independently under ECU control, enabling precise per-cylinder ignition timing and misfire detection.
This unit — BOSCH 0221504030 — is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications: primary and secondary winding resistance, turn ratio, peak output voltage, and connector pinout are matched to the original part. Supplied as a direct plug-and-play replacement requiring no ECU recalibration for standard fitment. Available wholesale from 7.08 USD, MOQ 20 pcs, production lead time 43 days.
Ignition coils degrade gradually with heat cycling and mileage. A single failed coil on a multi-cylinder engine will cause a misfire on that cylinder only — always verify which cylinder is misfiring with a scanner before replacing the full set.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning work. On vehicles with an engine cover, remove it to access the coil rail.
- Identify the misfiring cylinder using an OBD-II scanner before removal — replace only the faulty coil unless the vehicle has high mileage, in which case replacing the full set is cost-effective.
- Disconnect the coil connector by pressing the release tab and pulling straight back — do not lever against the coil body.
- Remove the coil retaining bolt (typically M6, 8–10 Nm) and extract the coil with a straight pull. If the coil is seized in the plug well, use a dedicated coil puller — never twist or lever.
- Inspect the spark plug while the coil is removed. A fouled or worn plug is frequently the root cause of coil failure — replace the plug if in doubt.
- Install the new IGNITION COIL (BOSCH 0221504030), torque the retaining bolt to specification, reconnect the connector until it clicks, reconnect the battery, and use an OBD-II scanner to clear stored fault codes. Confirm no new codes after a short drive cycle.
