There is an old thread on this. If no one finds it I'll get it tonight. On my phone now.
As example (can't remember the exact). Center to + needs to read no less than xx ohms volts something and then. + to - needs to be xx something. You can google testing Bosch coils too and there are VW threads too. Did this a year ago. Will update this whn I find something. Search is a good friend.
