Detailed Description

The Beru ZSE052 ignition coil is engineered for Porsche ignition systems that use a pencil-style coil mounted directly to the engine head. It supports electronic ignition operation and is built to match OE reference numbers used across Porsche 911, Boxster, and Cayman model years. If you are replacing a failing coil on a Porsche 911, Porsche Boxster, or Porsche Cayman, this part number provides a focused OE-style replacement path.

This part cross-references 00004399001 and 00004399008 for the same application. The ZSE052 is also associated with OE references including 9A160210401, 9A160210402, 9A160210403, 9A160210404, 9A160210405, 9A160210406, and 9A160210407, which helps when matching the correct ignition coil by original equipment number.

What It Helps Solve

• Engine misfire caused by a weak or failing ignition coil
• Hard starting related to inconsistent spark output
• Rough idle from ignition breakdown under load
• Loss of power during acceleration due to coil failure
• Check engine light conditions tied to ignition coil faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the OE number on the original coil before ordering, especially on Porsche 911, Boxster, and Cayman applications with multiple OE references. Verify the connector style, terminal count, and engine-head mounting layout match the original part. Inspect the spark plug and coil boot area during replacement to help prevent repeat ignition faults.

Quality Assurance

BERU ignition coils are developed with OE manufacturing standards and tested using proprietary procedures specific to the brand. BorgWarner supplies BERU ignition technology to vehicle manufacturers and aftermarket channels, supporting OE-level replacement selection for the listed Porsche applications.
