vs
Ignition coil APR or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
My tuned 17' R has had RS7 plugs and APR coils for awhile without issue, but I'm ready for a new set.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have 75K on my CC Sport with APR Stage1+ Tune. I recently changed my plugs and put APR coils in not sure if got any real power but the car feels so much better. At $27 a coil why not use APR?
Pros: car feels so much better
Cons: not sure if got power
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km
FWIW, I got an APR Stage 1+ tune on my '13 CC at about 30k miles. Blew one of the stock coils within a month. Replaced with red tops and new plugs and have been good since then (19k miles).
Pros: good since then
Cons: blew stock coils
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 30000 km
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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.
Cons: still gave me troubles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'd recommend getting rid of those APR coils before tuning, they cause so many headaches
Cons: cause many headaches
DO NOT BUY APR COIL PACKS they are fun but life of It them are terrible stay stock!
Pros: fun
Cons: terrible life
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Cons: short lifespan, misfires, CEL flashes
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 6000 km
As stated APR coils are know to not be as good as OE/OEM. I have seen a lot of people with APR coils chasing misfires and the replace with OEM and it’s fixed. Even with new APR this has happened.
Cons: chasing misfires
