I changed my ignition coils to delphi aftermarket ones and the idle is nice and smooth now. But the old ones had like 200k km on them.

Pros: idle is nice and smooth
Mileage: 200000 km

Bosch Delphi eldor they’re all the same you can’t really say one is better than the other. Some go bad early that’s just what it is. I personally went with Delphi (they’re quite a bit cheaper on eBay). But the lifetime return/replacement from fcp is pretty enticing.

Pros: cheap on eBay, lifetime warranty
Cons: some fail early

My first car was a Volkswagen Passat. I was on a budget and got a good deal on a really nice car. It was a dream to ride, except when everything kept going wrong. I went through multiple ignition coils, the car caught fire (bad coil, again) and had thousands in damage. Beyond that, getting tires balanced wasn\u2019t a simple job. Everywhere needed to special order shims from Germany because that\u2019s the only way a Volkswagen tire could be balanced.

Pros: dream to ride, good deal
Cons: car caught fire, expensive maintenance

I don’t like the Delphi ones cause they come apart, if you do spark plugs again say 20k miles passes you could deal with the silicone tube on the end getting stuck down when pulling them, then you gotta be careful and get the spring and that out without the spring flying off somewhere.

Cons: come apart, silicone tube stuck
Mileage: 20000 km
