Yes, it's installed, and I have not had any failures since Monday. It was failing maybe every other day, maybe two times in a day.
Pros: no failures since installation

So far, it's been four days without an engine start failure since replacing the ignition coil.
Pros: no engine start failure

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

Short answer - it was the ignition coil. In the end - it serves as a reminder that just because a code (or lack of) seems to point to a specific component, you MUST diagnose. ECM costs $300 - $1000 including coding - a Denso ignition coil was just over $100.
Pros: Denso ignition coil fixed
Cons: ECM replacement expensive

I personally dislike HUCO brand which it had, I replaced mine with a BERU coil, still going strong since '97.
Pros: still going strong
Cons: dislike HUCO brand

I was having hesitation problems a few months ago while accelerating. No CEL, and no codes with VAG-COM. I read here that a lot of other people had had identical problems; the CEL and codes didn't start appearing until well after the symptoms started. Changing the coils solved their problems. So I took the risk and changed all four coils (at about 65,000 miles). That completely solved the problem for me. By the way, the new OEM coils had a completely different part number than the original ones.
Pros: solved hesitation problems, completely solved problem

The stock ignition coil on our Mk3 Jetta -- which we've had since it was new in 1996 -- just went out about two years ago. Typical crack causing the engine to die when going through puddles. I considered replacing it was an inexpensive Meyle coil. Decided against it, because while Meyle is a German company, their ignition coil is made in China, and I'd heard some bad things. Figuring the OEM VW coil really is over-priced, I finally decided on a Beru coil. It is made in Germany, and so far no problems.
Pros: made in Germany, no problems
Cons: OEM VW coil over-priced

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.
Pros: good spark, getting fuel
Cons: still won't start

I had my old OE coilpack off, replaced with the new BERU unit. I had everything put back together, started her up, and she was running okay, but still far from perfect.
Pros: running much smoother
Cons: still far from perfect
