Hi. I have a '94 460SE that uses a rectangular ignition coil, which looks like a transformer. I believe it is manufactured by Siemens. I drove the car to the dealer for an unrelated issue, and now they tell me that my coil needs to be replaced. Is there a way to diagnose a failing coil if the car was able to start and drive with it? I have a bad feeling and suspect that the dealer wants to replace a good part. Any ideas?
