vs
Ignition coil APR or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I'm running APR coils with ZFR5E-11 plugs. There was a noticeable smoothness when I fired it up after install.
Pros: noticeable smoothness
I've had APR coils for over 50k now. No issues at all. Done 3 track days on the coils, and 2 on both the coils and plugs. Been stage 2 for over 30k now.
Pros: no issues, track-proven, long lasting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 80467 km
Installed APR coils with NGK lasers in January. No issues here since.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Audi S5
Did mine recently, with new APR coils and more performance oriented NGK plugs.
Pros: performance oriented
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
APR’s snake oil, don’t do anything other than aesthetic. Also don’t fix whats not broken, OEM is far superior
Cons: snake oil, aesthetic only
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have the APR coil packs installed currently (about 5k mikes on them so far) and I gotta say... Just stick with OEM. There is no benefit...
Cons: no benefit
Mileage: 8047 km
I tried running them with the stock plugs awhile back and ended up with random misfires. Pulled them off and put the stock coils back on…no more misfires.
Pros: no more misfires
Cons: random misfires
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Please get rid of those APR Ignition Coils and RS7 Spark Plugs. You are most likely encountering the misfiring from those alone.
Cons: misfiring from APR coils
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
