Ignition coil OEM Volkswagen or Duralast

Duralast Ignition coil

I went to Autozone and purchased a set of Duralast Ignition coils for $300, swapped all 4 and the car idled as good as new. I don't know if the Duralast coils will last very long, but they do have a no questions asked lifetime warranty so I can just get them replaced everytime it goes out.

Pros: idled as good as new
Cons: longevity is unknown
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 108000 km

You seem like a VW guy so you probably know this, but new ignitions coils! I've had 7 cars with considerably higher mileage than my TT, TT is the only car that I've had a coil die on.

Cons: coil die
Vehicle: Audi TT

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.

Pros: solved minor issues
Cons: minor issues at 45000 miles
Mileage: 72420 km

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.

Cons: one went bad

I’m having similar jerking problems like when my plugs/coils went bad again and the mechanic suggests coils, especially if I don’t have “Honda brand” coils. How bad off are duralast coils? Autozone is switching out these ones now for free due their warranty but I know now if the car starts messing up again that I need a new brand. I drive A LOT, so I’m wondering how normal is it for duralast coils to go bad so fast? They were literally changed in the mid winter. I can imagine I drove about 10-15k miles before my car started having problems again

Cons: failed quickly, jerking problems
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 16093 km

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.

Pros: factory coils reliable
Cons: aftermarket coils unreliable
