New OE Coils

[Trav]

Replaced a defective NGK made in Korea coil with an OE I was surprised to see it is made in the USA by Diamond. It seems more than a couple of companies are using them now as OE. I never heard of them before. Over the past couple of years I have seen a engine damaged by a plug the ground electrode fell off, a few bad sensors and 2 or 3 bad coils. It appears NGK is not the same quality it was some years ago. That is a shame, they were always a safe go to brand.

Diamond Electric (out of japan) has been a supplier for decades and decades. You just usually see them under a different manufacturer’s label.

I just bought some NTK (NGK) O2 sensors, supposedly OEM for my Pentastar. Heck the Mopar ones were $62 each.

Did the gap between you and the plug need to be re-gapped?

The OE coil on my 98 Forester is Diamond. They also made some coils for the 4th gen Camry. Diamond has been around a long time

I didn't know about them, I never saw them on Euro cars or US cars.

not common in euro. only one I know of is Jaguar AJ16 where they got restickered as Lucas. maybe some fords as well.

those coils lasted a long time

 

[Trav]

That's good know, thanks. I have seen Lucas, Bosch, Beru, Magneti Marelli, SEV Marchal and a few others over the years.

NGK bought Airtex/Wells. NGK engine management parts for the most part are the same wells crap thats in a duralast box.

 

[Trav]

Well that explains it. NGK sent me a replacement but it is not going on the engine. Sell it on flea bay or give it to someone who needs it.

I've only seen them on Japanese vehicles.

Parts in a WVE box are pretty much hit or miss, which is a shame. I would have thought NGK would have improved Wells/Airtex's quality but they're still pumping out the same garbage that's no different than brands like BWD (or "Broke When Delivered" as I like to call them).

NGK did buy out Wells years ago. I wouldn’t use anything NGK that isn’t spark plugs, wires or resistor cap.
