Ignition coil HITACHI or OEM Volkswagen

I changed all 6 coils on mine for those last year and they've worked without any issues.

Sounds like coils to me. I wouldn't even mess with swapping them...I would just replace all four. You can do just 2 and 4 but then you can expect 1 and/or 3 to go soon.

I also ordered four (4) new ignition coils from Hitachi, installed them 60 miles ago and it's been smooth since the installation. My car is quieter, more responsive, and idles better. No, check engine lights at all.

I read up some online and decided to order new ignition coils. Took a few days, but I got four new coils and threw them in. Again, problem solved it seemed. No more EPC light, misfire codes didn't come back and no more rough starts.

I was having hesitation problems a few months ago while accelerating. No CEL, and no codes with VAG-COM. I read here that a lot of other people had had identical problems; the CEL and codes didn't start appearing until well after the symptoms started. Changing the coils solved their problems. So I took the risk and changed all four coils (at about 65,000 miles). That completely solved the problem for me. By the way, the new OEM coils had a completely different part number than the original ones.

Did this conversion on my 2001 Audi A4 with a standalone. I ran it with stock (3ms) dwell and up to 5ms dwell and didnt notice any difference. I was running Hitatchi coils before and would notice slight bumps in idle. Now all I hear is smooth butter at idle.

Ok, So today I cleaned all the grounds then checked them with a multimeter, put new plugs in, changed the ignition coil, and still won't start. It has good spark now, and it's definitely getting fuel.

Every wet rain or slushy day, my 97 2.0 would quit or not start at all. Sprayed everything individually and figured it was the ignition coil cause it had hairline fractures. I replaced my ignition coil, but it still gave me troubles.

Turned out to be bad coil (again).

Car always kills them. I was the most surprised when it killed the Hitachi coils.
