Mercedes Ignition Service Kit - STI 2769060501

Product Information

An ignition coil is a vital car component that produces high-voltage electricity to generate a spark at the spark plug, igniting the air-fuel mixture within the engine cylinder. When an ignition coil fails, it can cause engine misfires, rough idling, reduced power, an illuminated check engine light, difficulty starting the engine, and sometimes backfiring. These issues arise from weak or inconsistent sparks produced by the malfunctioning coil.

• Engine misfires: The most prominent sign, causing the engine to jerk or shudder, especially when accelerating, due to inconsistent combustion in one or more cylinders
• Rough idling: The engine vibrates or shakes noticeably when idling due to uneven firing of cylinders
• Decreased engine power: The car may feel sluggish or lack acceleration due to incomplete combustion

About STI

STI is a division of the Karlyn Industries Corporation. Founded in 1971, Karlyn Industries is a family owned business that was started by Mr. Hans Bierdumpfel. Hans was born and trained in Germany as an Engineer and emigrated to the U.S. in 1949. He held leading Engineering positions with such esteemed companies as Sonotone Corporation, formerly of Elmsford/Cold Springs, N.Y. and Wells Manufacturing, of Northvale N.J. before founding Karlyn Industries 33 years ago. The company started producing the first U.S. made VW Beetle Ball Joints and Tie Rod Ends, in Mount Vernon, N.Y. As a domestic manufacturer of Volkswagen suspension items, Karlyn created a customer base here in the United States that has been loyal for over thirty years. Today, Karlyn Industries has branched out into suspension items for Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Saab and Honda. Karlyn Industries is also responsible for a high performance line of spark plug ignition cable sets with a reputation for quality. The biggest difference between Karlyn Industries and other manufacturers is their willingness to use a manual assembly process when it proves to deliver a superior product over automated production.
