Reverse engineering the Bosch K-Jet ignition module

Hey guys, I'm trying to fix my ign module, can you guys help me?
The R4 capacitor looks bad and the transistor made by bosch code 00119/187 failed the test with the multimeter (This test failed at step 3 and step 5), I couldn't find any capacitor with this capacitance nor the same type, is there any suggestions on what I could use as a replacement? And I have no idea what is the spec of this transistor, I saw you trying to figure it out what was a good replacement, but I would like to use another TO3, because others components seems to be good.

Assuming your module is the same as the one I've used for this experiment:

* if you meant C4 capacitor, that one is 8.2uF/20V electrolytic.
* if you meant R4 resistor, that one is 3.3k.

For the transistor, you will need to to find a package equivalent of BUB323Z or BDW42G. The exact spec of the original is unknown. These two above worked as replacements in a prototype.

Mistyped, *C4, right. The only 8,2uF I found was 400v, I don't think that it's a problem, as long as it's more voltage, and not less than 20v. Right?

Do you know if there's any chance I can use BU931? This one was used on Bosch ign modules made here in Brasil, but on 4 cyl cars.

Correct on the capacitor.
For the transistor, you would need to compare it's datasheet with the other two.
