I replaced my coil around the same time, and no start failures for me either.
I gave the Jetta back to my son last week after replacing the coil. No issues yet - but mine was happening less frequently.
Been over a week with the new coil installed. No failures.
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.
So far, it's been four days without an engine start failure since replacing the ignition coil.
I just replaced coils with bosch, VW Ignition Coil Service Kit - Bremi 06E905115EBR2 , so far, works fine with no problem.
Don't mess with anything other than Denso for either. OEM is the way to go, especially if you are trying to fix something with the old "parts cannon." I got a Denso coil from Walmart for a good price, around $75 ea.
I used Denso replacement coils on my '09, they're the OEM Toyota coils with the Toyota part number ground off
The Delphi coils are junk. Bosch updated the coils they offered and we've used the updated coil multiple times and never had to warranty a single one out in the 4 years we've been installing them.
Everytime we've used a Delphi in the past the white silicone on the boot degrades and falls apart in 6-12 months and customer cars came back with misfires again.
The old Bosch coils wear out because people don't do spark plugs and replacements on time. The old plugs end up with crazy gaps and it kills the coils. Usually at 100k-120k miles but honestly that's the normal lifespan of a pencil style coil regardless.
If you're plugs are old and you're beginning to experience misfires then save yourself the time do all 6 plugs and coils. Your N52 will thank you.
Just replaced my coils. AVOID Bosch. Literal trash that does not even work.
