Ignition coil OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen

I ended up using it to change the oil, change the plugs, and change the oil filters and ignition coil. I recommend it.

There is one benefit to running R8 coils on a stock TSI. They seem to be a hell of a lot more reliable.

So, I went to my VW/Audi dealers here in Tampa and purchased the stock RS7 spark plugs and RS3 ignition coils. The exhaust smelled slightly worse at startup after the change, but still went away shortly after startup. The idle was smoother but I attribute that to old stock coils and spark plugs.

The only thing I have are the R8 coils, other than that stock everything. The car drives mint

The Audi bolt-down ones are good. I replaced the push-down coils that had a failure about every year or two with the bolt-downs just a week or so befor VW announced the recall. Zero, zero, zero problems ever since.

I started having some minor issues at about 45,000 miles (solved by changing the coils), and other people have had similar experience... So I change them that often.

The F revision was current as of April 2015 when I replaced all of the factory coil packs that were installed in my 07 2.5 Jetta. I had one go bad and decided to just replace all of them and the plugs while I had it all opened up.

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.

I never use aftermarket coils, nor would I. I have taken out too many bad ones. In fact, a friend put a set of some parts store coils in his daughter's Tiguan, and two weeks later one died.

VW makes bad ignition coils, period. Bad design, bad reliability, bad everything. They actually came out in pieces and were siezed into the head on some cylinders. There was several inches of calcification and junk from water going down into the holes (no engine cover for 123,000 miles). I had to blow out the plug holes with air compressor, after I vacuumed the inches of calcium dust out, then still after I removed the plugs found rust under the crush washer they seat on. It wasn't fun and I had to polish the holes up to hopefully stop that disgusting build up. It was BAAAAAD looking but it ran fine with only a single misfire up to almost 130k.
