many thanks to this diy i just successfully replaced my unbranded made in italy POS coil with a brand new one from beru. gosh, as soon as i put that in and started the car it didnt start so rough. what a small but significant change, kudos and thanks!
I had the same deal, but none of the similar error codes. Verdict: it's probably your ignition coil. Overtime they crack SOOOOO SLIGHTLY that they let in moisture and you're boned. I snagged the Huco cheap one, been fixed ever since. I finally saw the cracks in the old one when I took it off and it was easy to change. I have a 1997 Golf GTI 2.0 8v
mine was stubbling like crazy too and it was the coil... i used an msd 8202 and wired it up to my ignition module... problem solved for $45
0,5l/100km less fuel consumption, consistent, and what is most important, my Golf was the only car that started by itself this winter at -30 C outside, among about 30 cars in our courtyard.
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.
DO NOT BUY APR COIL PACKS they are fun but life of It them are terrible stay stock!
APR coils lasted almost a year (5/6000 miles) when I pushed it and let go of the pedal. CEL would flash and random cylinders misfire.
Options like APR's and RS3 coils offer very little if at all over factory other than looking pretty.
