Ignition coil Bosch or HUCO

I pulled all the coils out and one of them was rusted to shit. As I mentioned, I didn't want to pay $460 to get them from MINI, so the parts store supplied me with Bosch coils and they worked well. I ripped the car through the business district I work in ala Grand Tour; all the stuttering problems, hiccups are gone and the car feels way more powerful than before.

Be sure to use a genuine Bosch from a reputable source, or OE from the dealer. DO NOT use a Chinese one from a big-box auto parts store.

Make sure the new coil is a good Bosch, Beru, or OE unit, not parts-store brand junk. I've seen plenty of bad coils out of the box.

I had the same deal, but none of the similar error codes. Verdict: it's probably your ignition coil. Overtime they crack SOOOOO SLIGHTLY that they let in moisture and you're boned. I snagged the Huco cheap one, been fixed ever since. I finally saw the cracks in the old one when I took it off and it was easy to change. I have a 1997 Golf GTI 2.0 8v

I got it. All good now. I swapped a Meyle coil (probably original right?) Out for or a used known good Huco. Knock at idle is GONE and she reves right up!

glad to hear its fixed i had just recieved and replaced my coil to day(mine was HUCO brand)! And the car fires right up now in rainy or wet weather.

The R8 coils are cheaper then the standard Bosch coils so cheaper if nothing else.

Many aftermarket coils are completely out of spec and do not work well, some can even destroy the ECU. OE, Bosch, Temic are all good, I believe Beru is an OE manufacturer as well.

Yep. The codes don't lie, the coil pack is bad. I swapped it into my wifes 04' and the CEL/ misfire was right there with it. The guy bought it somewhere local but doesn't have the receipt/ record, so he's out $175.
