NGK Ignition coil

When I bought my 2008 VW Rabbit 2.5, it had 142K miles on it and I wanted to be sure I did a complete tune-up, not knowing its history. I bought the whole OEM unit which came with cover, gasket, bolts and PCV valve at a low price from Amazon. When I pulled the coils to replace the plugs, I saw that they were covered in oil from the leaking center section of the gasket, so I bought NGK coils to go with the NGK iridium plugs. When I pulled the plugs, I saw the tops were also covered in oil but the working end of the plugs were fine (Bosch plugs and the original coils). Replacing everything was easy and I torqued everything correctly. No more leaks and the car performs wonderfully on 87 octane.

Pros: car performs wonderfully
Cons: coils covered in oil
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 153000 km

Bremi Ignition coil

I'd replace the FPR with a 3BAR since they are cheap and easy to replace and considering your mods. New coolant temp sensors for the same reasons as well even though you state they are ok. Coil could be an issue, no real need to upgrade the factory ones but a new one could resolve the problem (Bremi coils are using STI [brand not car] windings in the units).

Pros: cheap and easy to replace
