Ignition coil HITACHI or OEM Volkswagen

had the same problem in the gti...just got a replacement coil pack for 32$ at the VW dealer and was good to go...i hear its a common thing to replace...

just put hitachi's in my aww. literally 2 miles after i got it chipped, #2 and 3 blew out the older styled black ones that were in there. no problems with the hitachi's yet

Stick with the Hitachi coils. I only had one fail in 80K miles on my car and 40k of that is BT.

I had the snap in Bremi coils in my 2001 AWW and I replaced them with the Hitachi coils. It smoothed out my idle quite a bit.
