Just did my 2016 Passat SE with Delphi coils in June. Running smooth.
Pros: running smooth
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Best Ignition coil for Volkswagen Passat
I bought a new Denso coil to put on cylinder 3 just to eliminate it as a possibility.
Pros: eliminate possibility
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I replaced all coils with Bremi 20128 red tops and used liquid electric tape to reinsulate the exposed wire.
Pros: reinsulate exposed wire
Cons: melted insulation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Part number: 20128
Never had issues with the Red Bosch ones I got from Shopdap.com But plugs, I preferred the NGK Ruthenium HX over the Laser Platinum, and Iridium-IX
Pros: preferred NGK Ruthenium HX
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Changed the plugs, and while changing them noticed that there was a little charring in two of the coil paks seating surface where the spark plug tip sits...after changing the plugs the car still felt like ****. Ran to Advanced....and they showed 2 cylinders not firing good, needless to say they only stocked one coil pak. I replaced it and the car ran like a champ.
Pros: car ran like a champ
Cons: car still felt like ****

Volkswagen Passat
My first car was a Volkswagen Passat. I was on a budget and got a good deal on a really nice car. It was a dream to ride, except when everything kept going wrong. I went through multiple ignition coils, the car caught fire (bad coil, again) and had thousands in damage. Beyond that, getting tires balanced wasn\u2019t a simple job. Everywhere needed to special order shims from Germany because that\u2019s the only way a Volkswagen tire could be balanced.
Pros: dream to ride, good deal
Cons: car caught fire, expensive maintenance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
But, its Bosch ignition coils had a defect and were being recalled.
Pros: defect, being recalled
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Yep. The codes don't lie, the coil pack is bad. I swapped it into my wifes 04' and the CEL/ misfire was right there with it. The guy bought it somewhere local but doesn't have the receipt/ record, so he's out $175.
Pros: codes don't lie
Cons: coil pack is bad
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B5
Yep, guess it's common, but mine just caused a smoking fire under the hood! As mentioned, I just started the car in the a.m. and was backing out of the garage. It started sounding and acting funny as explained and the engine light was blinking.
Cons: caused smoking fire
