Ignition coil Bosch or APR

You would probably get these on TEMU for 80 euro. Stick to BOSCH or NGK.

Do not buy shitty eBay “performance” coils for a 1.4 touran. Just go to a motor factors and buy a reputable brand like Bosch.

Not sure if this would matter but I did replace the coils with APR ones, from the stock ones, when I redid the valve cover seal. It has an APR stage 1 tune and and APR air intake. It has had both for the last 165,000 miles (currently has 175,000 miles).

I had this exact issue and just fixed it with a new ignition coil. I bought a bosch replacement and I haven\u2019t had the issue since.

Make sure when you replace these you use too quality plugs from a reliable parts store, too many stories of bad fakes or lower quality products from online sources. Coils are also likely a good idea at this point, again go with Bosch, again from a reliable source.

2016 1.4 T ran like brand new after changing to the APR coils. You could definitely feel the difference.

Bosch WERE awful when first introduced, but lifted their game.

The coils are Bosch and I assume the OEM from factory. I know they car is 18 years old, and I don't mind replacing them, but I'm curious if age, and not just mileage, plays a factor in coils and spark plugs. Manual says change spark plugs at 100k and it seems unusual to me for coils to fail with so few miles on them. I've had several other cars with over 150k miles that never had a failed coil, and one car even had over 250k miles (and about 25 years old). Could there be something causing these coils to fail prematurely? Should I look for a different brand than Bosch?

Aftermarkets (especially APR/MST) are reported to fail often, like *very* often.

I replaced all 4 in my tuned stage 2 q3 2013 to red bosch coils. 1 of the red ones died last year.
