Ignition coil Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

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.

As per ignition coils, the only ones you should buy for N43/53 engines are Bosch. All the others (Delphi, Febi, HP etc.) are the same Chinese coil sold under different names, same issues as the counterfeit parts.

I'm running Bosch and have been for 45k miles with no issues, even tuned running extra boost which demands more of the ignition coils.

I have Bosch in my 2015 currently with no issues for 30k miles so far

I’ve ran Bosche in all my M3’s with great success.

Few months ago I got all 6 OBD1 Bosch coil packs and it changed nothing for me other than a slightly smoother top end, I still have a slight misfire at idle.

I bought four of these from the Audi dealership and slapped them into my MK5 GTI when I replaced the spark plugs. They work but they aren’t any performance upgrade. I got ‘em because the car is also red ????

Coils: buy Bosch or Delphi coils. DO NOT BUY THEM OFF OF AMAZON. You would be better off leaving them then replacing them with an aftermarket brand.

I had all new Bosch coils installed on my e46 M3 about 30k miles ago. They worked fine, until one day the car went into limp mode due to bad coil / misfire.

But, its Bosch ignition coils had a defect and were being recalled.
