I ended up getting a brand new Bosch ignition coil from German Autoparts for around $160 shipped with a few other small parts. This was around November last year.
Go Bosch, or Go Badly.
Two months ago I changed all the glow plugs with Bosch plugs. The glow system works great.
i finally got it. so we were checking wires and stuff and everything was checking out ok and then with the car running we would check the alt. and still no voltage putting out. i was baffeled. so then i thought ill switch voltage regulators because what i did when the new alt. came in was that i changed the voltage regulator to a new one bought previously and had put that one in and installed the alt. so i changed voltage regulators and put the one that came with the new alt. and low and behold there was the problem. i turned the ignition on. the battery light came on in the instement cluster, started the car and boom there it was, the alt. was putting out 14 volts and we were good to go.
bought me some bosch icons a few weeks ago and i love them i noticed a huge difference when the first rain came through
Bosch Icons would be the best option over the Rain-X and Aero wipers.
these are remanufactured VW/Bosch parts redistributed by autozone. IMPORTANT!!! the whole job took me aboiut 3 hrs....cause i'm a newby VW garage mechanic, but it went off/on with no issues really. she starts better than ever. the starter is smooth as hell.
You do know that a bosch "7" is 1 range HOTTER than stock and 2 ranges HOTTER than a NGK"7"
i just changed my spark plugs, figuring i would do a tune-up before winter..the car was running fine before..changed the oem plugs that were in them to bosch +2's..well that was when the misfiring started...the car at low rpm's, lets say, 1500rpms, would stutter if i tried to full throttle it,...but when i get to about 2500rpms the stuttering would stop
