Ignition coil BERU or Bremi

I recently bought a BERU.

I'd replace the FPR with a 3BAR since they are cheap and easy to replace and considering your mods. New coolant temp sensors for the same reasons as well even though you state they are ok. Coil could be an issue, no real need to upgrade the factory ones but a new one could resolve the problem (Bremi coils are using STI [brand not car] windings in the units).

Just installed the new coil and the car runs great. Very pleased with the results.

I personally dislike HUCO brand which it had, I replaced mine with a BERU coil, still going strong since '97.

My coil is a Beru and pretty much brand new.

many thanks to this diy i just successfully replaced my unbranded made in italy POS coil with a brand new one from beru. gosh, as soon as i put that in and started the car it didnt start so rough. what a small but significant change, kudos and thanks!

The stock ignition coil on our Mk3 Jetta -- which we've had since it was new in 1996 -- just went out about two years ago. Typical crack causing the engine to die when going through puddles. I considered replacing it was an inexpensive Meyle coil. Decided against it, because while Meyle is a German company, their ignition coil is made in China, and I'd heard some bad things. Figuring the OEM VW coil really is over-priced, I finally decided on a Beru coil. It is made in Germany, and so far no problems.

Has anyone ever experienced an odd electrical type humming sound eminating from the front of the dash after putting in a new ignition coil??? I put in a Beru Coil and I could swear I now hear a faint hum that wasn't there prior to installing the new one. It kind of sounds like the radio with the sound way low when it picks up engine frequencies (but I know it's not that). It definitely sounds electrical and not mechanical and I've noticed the hum increases in frequency when I increase the rpm's. Do coils even make any noise??? Thanks.

BERU Ignition coils! ALWAYS USIN' GERMAN AUTO PARTS! Old coils out. Here's the problem - that coil on the right's connector broke off! Piece of crap!

Bought new coil. Lucky to get good German Beru unit for little over $90...last of luck. Put in new coil, still no spark.
