Review on Bosch Automotive 02054 Ignition Condenser by Dustin Keller

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Purchased Bosch ignition capacitor of supposed quality

I am very disappointed because the Bosch ignition capacitors I bought were bad from the start. As in the old days when ignition capacitors were the norm, I tested each and found that they are both grounded internally. So none will work in the app. If the points are open, no current should flow through the capacitor. But both are grounded all the time no matter the points are open or closed. I'll have to see if I can find used capacitors at a reduced price as the new ones don't seem to be of the quality you might expect from the Bosch brand.

Pros
  • Spark quenching between the contact points
Cons
  • Some defects
