Bradders59 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Been looking at a set of Beru coils for my year 2000 2.7. The Beru part number on the coils is ZS178. When I tried to check they were the correct ones for my car on the Beru online catalogue, it gives a choice of two. Boxster 2.7 208bhp. From 06/99 - 12/02. ZS177. Second option. Boxster 2.7 M96.22. 217bhp. From 08/99 - 07/02. ZS178. I didnt know there was a 208bhp version, but my question is, how do I tell which version I have so I know if the ZS178 is the correct part for my car ? Tia.

There isn't a 208 or 211PS version unless it is US market? ZS178 seems to be what people use. 997 602 107 02 is the Porsche part number you are looking to match. Autodoc has good cross reference to part numbers for both the main marque and other suppliers even if you don't buy from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders59 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 That seems to tie in with the info I have come up with. I wonder what the difference is between the two. Possibly interchangeable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, I don't think Ali Express would be my first choice for buying anything, with the exception of their well known wheel centre badges. Engine parts though? Er, no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders59 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I suspect the Ali express coils are Chinese knock off, but I could be wrong. If the only difference between the 177 / 178 is the length of the bolts, then reusing the old bolts shouldnt be a problem. It would be nice to know for definite.

Dazzevans Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Another vote for AUTODOC. They aren’t the fastest delivery, but considering they come from Europe then it’s not too bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizz Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 So what part number is this then? Doesn't match the ones I've bought. Unless it's old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaks Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I could be wrong, but I think some of the later Beru jokers had the metal sleeve where the bolt goes through added to strength up the coil body... hence the change in part number...?

Bradders59 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Anyone ever tried HAAS coils ? Eurocraprats have them for £22 each with discount code. Nice price, but a waste of money if they are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a shorter bolt version which would be right for you model in your profile. The Beru part number in the picture doesn't turn up much in a search so could have been up issued. ZS178 would be you option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at pics of both types and they both have metal inserts in the bolt holes. The physical difference that I can see is that the 177 has ribs near the top of the rubber part presumably to keep water out, but the 178 doesnt. I would really like to know if its possible to interchange them as I can get a set of nearly new 178,s for a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
