Ignition coil Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

I’ve used Bosch without issue as well.

I've a 09 E89 3.0 and went with the Bosch coils about 2 years & 20k miles ago and haven't had any problems yet

I have a Y2014 2.5L JSW. I went to the BOSCH (a lot cheaper) route and 10K miles later, no problems.

I work at a BMW specific shop and all we run are the Bosch coils. I personally have them in my E46 M3 and 325ix. We've sold 1000s of them with zero issues.

I was told once by a distributor of many brands including Motorcraft that Bosch made the Triton coils. Our group sold thousands of them, with very little trouble.

I assumed it was bad and while it was sad to get rid of the OE Bosch, Autozone had a C831 coil that I was able to pick up. I think the boot was slightly too small but I’m 90% sure it’s making contact but I am still not getting it to arc.

I believe Delphi is what people switched over to because the Bosch coils were failing.

This is a new Bosch coil (but also happened with old coil), wires, cap, rotor, and plugs as mentioned above.

One of my Bosch coils went bad within 13 months. Probably would have happened with Delphi for all my luck. Nevertheless, I returned all six to FCPEuro for lifetime replacement warranty.

9-3’s eat coils; it’s a forever problem on my 9-3 that it seems like every 30k miles I’m spending $200 on new coil packs. It’s essentially routine maintenance. I ordered Bosch OEM coil packs off RockAuto and just now realized they have a warranty. I submitted a warranty claim and they sent me out brand new units. Wish I would have known this because it would have saved me lots of money.
