OEM Volkswagen › Ignition coil

Warning light:

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

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

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

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

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

Warning light:

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

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Sounds like coils to me. I wouldn't even mess with swapping them...I would just replace all four. You can do just 2 and 4 but then you can expect 1 and/or 3 to go soon.

Pros: replace all four

Warning light:

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.

Pros: ran fine with single misfire

Cons: bad design, bad reliability, came out in pieces, seized into the head
