Ignition coil Bosch or MSD
Just changed the ignition coils. Fixed it!! I recommend getting BOSCH or an OEM equivalent brand.
my issue was the same which ended up being coils and hpfp
since you changed the coils ( Bosch is best ) I would look at the fuel next.
When you buy on Amazon, make sure you buy directly from the manufacturer. You are right. A bosch ignition coil costs $34 at the official bosch store in amazon, while it costs $60 at advanced auto parts.
I replaced all the spark plugs as well as the four ignition coils (new Bosch coils). After repair, the car runs perfectly and I no longer have any hiccups while driving.
For a simple, plug and play upgrade for the ignition coils, the Bosch coils from an Alfa Romeo 4C are better than the stock Beru coils or the Mopar coils found in the Dodge Dart.
Your repair is reasonable in Canada or the USA. For those that don't know what a base Jetta coil pack and wires looks like, here's a link to FCP : VW Ignition Coil Service Kit - Bosch KIT-032905106FKT3 | FCP Euro https://share.google/2UaBCZUOxCYsInqvp
You would probably get these on TEMU for 80 euro. Stick to BOSCH or NGK.
Couple years ago I put a full pack of MSD coils on it, and they ran amazing right off the bat, and great for about 3 years before I had a coil fail on me while I was camping.
Found another store and borrowed vehicle to get a Bosch. Swapped out the carquest one and SEEMED FIXED AGAIN…same thing, ran good for about 5 miles and went back to same symptoms.
Stick with the stock Delphi’s. I went with Bosch recently and half of them died within a day (N55). FCP swapped them out, no questions asked, but still a PITA to do the work multiple times.
