Ignition coil Bosch or HITACHI
just put hitachi's in my aww. literally 2 miles after i got it chipped, #2 and 3 blew out the older styled black ones that were in there. no problems with the hitachi's yet
I ended up getting a brand new Bosch ignition coil from German Autoparts for around $160 shipped with a few other small parts. This was around November last year.
Go Bosch, or Go Badly.
Stick with the Hitachi coils. I only had one fail in 80K miles on my car and 40k of that is BT.
I had the snap in Bremi coils in my 2001 AWW and I replaced them with the Hitachi coils. It smoothed out my idle quite a bit.
0,5l/100km less fuel consumption, consistent, and what is most important, my Golf was the only car that started by itself this winter at -30 C outside, among about 30 cars in our courtyard.
I highly recommend this one: It gives probably the hottest spark out there, is a direct replacement to oem coil and is not expensive (~$30).
It's Bosch KS with a turbo 5K coil. The turbo coil is known to work very well for 18+ PSI, and I am firing it earlier in the cycle than most, which should make the job of sparking easier.
Get the Bosch Blue coil either way though.....
