Ignition coil Bremi or HUCO

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

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.

it sounds like a problem im haveing with my ignition coil, i could be completely wrong though but anyways an easy way to test it is to start the car and mist the ignition coil with a spray bottle if the car shuts off u need a new one, i got one from germanautoparts.com for only $60 plus $10 shipping and i got it practically the next day.

I used to use the HUCO brand single coil on my old 8V and it would fail every year.... My parts supplier now only sells HUCO when they can't get the BERU units. I have a BERU on my VR and def a better quality piece. I think I went through 4 coils in 5yrs with my old 8V... eventually I kept one ready in the car "just in case"

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.
